Vika & Linda

Vika & Linda are the most loved vocal duo of their generation - admired and respected by fans and fellow artists, they’ve been singing together their entire lives – it began in church and from church to the charts Vika & Linda have enjoyed a remarkable musical journey.

After three classic albums with the Black Sorrow, Vika & Linda have released seven studio albums, two live albums and a chart-topping anthology. They have sung on number one albums by Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers and John Farnham, done gigs for the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and the King of Tonga, and been nominated for four ARIA Awards.
 
After decades in which they were mostly known for backing up major Australian artists, they hit 2020 with a bang when their career anthology, Akilotoa, topped Australian charts – the first by an Australian female duo to do so. It was quickly followed up by another chart-topper: Sunday (The Gospel According To Iso), their album recorded during the lockdowns of 2020. And in 2021, with the release of the first Vika and Linda original album in 19 years – aptly titled The Wait – they have well and truly taken centre stage.
 
In 2022, Vika & Linda were awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, for their service to the performing arts and released their book NO BULL where Vika and Linda recount the highs and lows, twists and turns they’ve navigated on the long road to centre stage, from growing up as dark-skinned girls in 1970s Doncaster to confronting their personal demons and stepping into the spotlight as their unabashed selves.
