Linda, aka Lilinanna, is a singer-songwriter originally from Puglia, who grew up in the Marche region. She has been writing since she was a child, and has been composing music vocally since she was a teenager. From an early age, she was exposed to Goth and 1980s New Wave music. She studied guitar and piano, was in a theater company for several years, and attended an Arabic and ethnic dance school for a long time, performing in theaters. During COVID, she wrote the lyrics for what would eventually become her first published song. After COVID, she will resume studying music and experiment with new forms of physical expression such as Butoh Dance and Yoga. Throughout her life, the occult, shamanism, magic, tarot cards, and powerful forms of meditation will be powerful allies in the artist’s growth, where she will channel her creativity into magical singing and channel meditative lyrics and mediumistic abilities. She began releasing music in 2021. At the same time, she is absorbed in the work of other bands. In August 2025, she completed work on her first collection of songs, UNDERWORLD SHELTER. Lilinanna aims to stand out with originality within the Goth and Dark Wave scene, always remaining faithful to what she wants to convey in a song, intimately dedicated to the listener.
