Lynda formed in 2017 when the duo comprised of Youcef Khelil and Russ Harley met while working at American Apparel. Hailing from Algeria and Wales, the two discovered they shared the same artistic interests and - seeking a way out of the retail world - channelled their varying influences to carve a dreamy, and genre-splitting sound that built the foundations of the project. 
 Formed in South East London, but now split between Paris & Bristol, Khelil & Harley continue to produce Lynda records.
