Dirk Lind was born into a family of classical musicians in Mussoorie, India. Trained on the double-bass, he taught himself the guitar when he was fourteen and immediately started writing songs.

Beginning with punk songs, he moved to reggae before settling on the African-influenced style that defined his years with Baaba Seth, one of the East Coast's groundbreaking world-beat bands of the 90s.

Now living in the Pacific Northwest, after a decade spent living on the Navajo and Makah reservations, Dirk is bringing together all his past influences to his solo recordings.

With a voice somewhere between Bob Marley and Paul Simon, and an acoustic guitar style that incorporates delicate fingerstyle, rhythmic strumming, and Congolese picking, Dirk's style is unique.
