Linda Niles

Linda Niles has been a versatile mainstay on the Montreal music scene ever since she appeared with The Montreal Black Community Youth Choir (later known as The Jubilation Choir). While still in high school, she was the featured soloist on two albums with the choir. Since then, she has continued to record, singing background vocals on many albums by noted Canadian artists, often touring with their live shows and accompanying them on TV appearances.

All the while, Linda has developed her solo career by singing jazz with her own trio, and singing R&B and Top 40 with various other bands. Linda has also taught voice and piano (having had ten years of piano instruction with Daisy Sweeney) and has conducted a gospel choir.

Jazz is definitely Linda's first love. So, it comes as no surprise that these days, Linda has been concentrating on her jazz duo and trio work. Upon returning from intermittent tours of Asia's jazz nightspots, including Shanghai's House of Blues and Jazz, Linda Niles can be seen most Monday and Tuesday nights with Tim Jackson at Montreal's Dorval Hilton Hotel.
