Dirk Lind started writing songs at the age of fourteen, after seeing the Ramones play live. Since 1991, he has been the lead singer and principal songwriter for the popular east-coast worldbeat band, Baaba Seth. The band has won over audiences all over the east coast, and around the world, led by an energetic live show and Lind's catchy, unique songwriting.
One music journalist wrote of Dirk's singing as having "one of those distinctive, gravel and velvet voices. Lots-o-tone and texture. He’s also a deeply spiritual type of guy. Eyes closed, brow furrowed in concentration, Lind is an intense and emotional singer. Crafty lyricist too. He’s got a knack for turning serious, reality based themes of human rights and social commentary into thoroughly enjoyable melodies. Heavy message, groovy delivery." (Lee Abraham)
Jambands.com's review of their second album (Live At the End of the World) noted: "Dirk Lind's vocal's help to make the picture complete. He has an urgent insistence in his voice that appeals to me, and rather resembles Ziggy Marley. I know most vocalists hate to be compared to anyone, but it does help to give you an idea of his talent. The utmost in quality, without being polished."
In 2000, Dirk relocated to the Pacific Northwest. Though Baaba Seth still plays concerts every summer, Lind has sheltered himself in his home studio and is currently putting the finishing touches on his first solo CD.
With cover art from one of America's rising artists Russell Richards, and a solid set of new songs (but with a couple of his Baaba Seth songs reworked and given a makeover), "The Theory of Evolution" will be released early in 2008.
