Description
Born Linda Viera Caballero on March 9, 1970, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, India grew up in a section of the South Bronx known as La Candela. Her parents moved there shortly after her birth, moving in with her grandmother, a world-wise, cigar-smoking woman who was a key influence in India's life. India, who was nicknamed such because of her fine facial features, began singing as a young girl and even took opera classes briefly. She attended grade school in the Bronx, and that's where she met Louie Vega, someone else who would become a key figure in her life, both as her producer as well as her husband.
She subsequently signed a recording contract with Ralph Mercado's label, RMM Records, the leading New York salsa label of the era. Her first assignment with the label was an appearance at the June 1993 RMM all-star concert later released as Combinacion Perfecta (1996). The concert brought together many of New York salsa's living legends, such as Celia Cruz and Oscar d'León, and it took a moment to showcase RMM's two rising stars, Marc Anthony and India, who sang a duet, "Vivir Lo Nuestro." Released as a single in 1994, the song became a Top Ten hit and was subsequently included as a bonus track on India's album debut for RMM.
