So, the girl became a private visitor of the Theater "Hermitage", in which a team of folk creativity acted. The future singer tried to master the foundations of scenic skills, and Yuri Galperin became her teacher.

Music
At first, Linda collaborated with two composers - Vitalya Okorokov and Vladimir Matetsky. With their help, such songs of young actipers were created as "a game with fire" and "non-stop". Already the first video on the composition "Game with Fire" demonstrated the unique style of the singer. Linde was also lucky with the video director, because the famous Fedor Bondarchuk spoke in this role.Linda's cooperation with Yuri Aizenshpis lasted for a short time and soon she began working with a talented arranger and composer Maxim Fadeev. This union was unusually fruitful, because thanks to him, the Russian stage was enriched with a unique artist and a successful producer.
The first album of the novice singer was released in 1994 and was called the "songs of Tibetan Lam." Olga Dzusov participated in the preparation of the album (as a back-vocalist) and Julia Savicheva (in the composition "Do this"). Label "Crystal Music" was engaged in promoting the album. In addition, Linda received serious support from Europe Plus radio station.
