Linda Estelle (Linda Roza Blokland), the voice of T-Spoon, was born in Arnhem in the Netherlands on 23 January 1974. At the age of 16 she began singing in studios.
After finishing high school (HAVO) she was employed in an art gallery, while occupying her spare time singing radio jingles and doing vocal studio sessions. Her interest in singing got started at a very young age. She eventually went on to working together with Arnhemsgewijs and Replay, both two very successful Dutch R&B groups.
At the end of 1995 she bumped into Remy de Groot, the manager of T-Spoon. She auditioned for T-Spoon and was chosen as their new vocalist. She made her debut on T-Spoon's fifth single "See The Light". The song originally didn't contain her voice but only vocals from Shamrock and guest vocalist Johnny Kelvin. Estelle's vocals were added on the single-release. Estelle could be heard on every song of the album Lexicon of Melody.
In 2002 Estelle joined Des'ray (of 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor) and Anita Doth (former vocalist of 2 Unlimited) for a one time project called Divas Of Dance. They will do remakes of old songs, but they will also do hitmixes of their greatest hits in their shows.
In 2010 Estelle and Shamrock (Shalamon Baskin) are touring as T-spoon reloaded.
Personal life
She has two sisters, Wendy and Sara. She is blond-haired and 1,70 m tall.
