Music played an important part in La.Di.Da´s life since her early childhood. She went to the Music school and to the School for Latin American Dance for three years. But she could attract attention at first in another way. At the age of 16-19 she was working as an international respected model. Around 1995 she got in touch with the owner of Delirium record store in Zurich, who helped her discovering her deep love for music again. At this time the first techno club in Prague opened and, as Linda says in her own words, she was at the right time at the right place.

Thus one could admire the first Czech woman behind the decks with the unbelievable charisma at first techno club in Prague Radost FX. Here she played from the beginning with well known dj´s as Jeff Mills, Carl Cox, Westbam, Laurent Garnier,Dj Hell.. and so she was able to develope her distingtive, precise mixing style and with that she left an permanent impression to many top stars of the club scene. In 1996 she was invited to Mayday Germany and could present her idea of energetic, melodic groovy techno music on three decks to the german crowd. The wellknown electronic music mag "Frontpage" elected her to the "3rd best international newcomer dj" in 1997 and since that she´s been playing constantly at the Love Parade
The very same year she started her first projects as a producer with two E.P.´s and an album on her own former "Lasergirl" label.

The major label London Records / ffrr signed La.Di.Da in 1998, but artist and label had different positions on the musical output and so there was unfortunately no release in the following two years. With remarkable gigs in clubs and at various European festivals such as Nature One,Hannover parade,Love parade,she could establish her fame as an international accepted dj.
