Lina's infectious spirit, incredible songwriting ability, one-in-a-million voice and hard rockin' band will stand you up and knock you down all at the same time, as Lina matches her power to the band with her Harley Davidson voice and then effortlessly shifts into the raspy, soft vocals of an experienced woman.

Singer/songwriter and definite Diva Lina Koutrakos's music is rooted in her nomadic upbringing as a Navy brat and her Greek heritage. Lina is an adult artist who has a little bit of all people in her eyes as well as in her voice. She bridges a gap we didn't know existed until we experience her live. Koutrakos sings with amazing spirit, incredible energy, and possibly most exciting, the heart that accompanies a God-given talent.

Lina was a frequent headliner at New York City's world-renowned Bottom Line, which closed its doors earlier this year. This amazingly powerful rock/pop/blues band has played to rave reviews in most of the top rock venues throughout Manhattan. She has received a feature, 2 singles reviews, and various photo "blurbs" in BILLBOARD MAGAZINE, features in Mode and Soap Opera Digest and hundreds of rave, high profile reviews. Her band has garnered fans the likes of Meryl Streep, Kathleen Turner and Gregory Hines. In the process of recording their second album, their debut CD Leave A Little Something has become a best seller. Her original material is being played on national TV and radio.

Koutrakos' unique, powerful and emotive voice is featured in the acclaimed America Undercover HBO documentary "Telling Nicholas". She wraps this moving 9/11 film in her own sensitive and soulful layer with her rendition of it's heartrending closing theme song.

As a songwriter-Koutrakos was chosen out of over 250 applicants to be part of ASCAPS Advanced songwriting workshop and has already received amazing reviews on a andful of her original pop/rock songs. As a lyricist she uses words to paint pictures as easily as she can spin music into "hooks" you will not stop singing.
