Lindsay Osborne was born and bred in Sydney’s inner-city, the son of a keen and accomplished musician. Music came naturally to him, leading to long-standing friendships with industry greats such as Carlos Santana and Lenny Kravitz.

The band developed a strong and loyal following in Sydney, Australia, and recorded their album “From There to Here”, produced by Linzi O and John Robinson (ex-Black Feather), mixed by former Santana bass player Myron Dove and mastered at 301 by Steve Smart.

The band earned a reputation for an uncanny ability to win over any audience. Their Latin and Salsa influenced sound guaranteed an infectious rhythm on the dance floor.

Based in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Linzi O has a music history dating back to 1967. He has toured extensively with Carlos Santana across Australia, Japan and the United States.

In 1998, he formed The Linzi O Band. In 2000, they released their debut album From There To Here. The first single reached Number 1 on the MP3 Latin Charts and remained there for five months.

Linzi’s advice for young artists:

"Firstly, if you can’t do it under one light in a t-shirt… you just can’t do it!"

"Secondly, real music is heard in the heart."
