Cindy Lu  was born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey surrounded by music.  She grew up singing in her church and school choirs, and since her father and brother were both musicians, her home was always filled with music.  She listened to Roger Miller’s "King of The Road, Count Basie & His Orchestra, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Blood, Sweat & Tears, James Taylor, Carole King and Bonnie Raitt.  Cindy Lu's  music was greatly influenced by her faith and her family, and she spent many years singing a variety of music, including classics, oldies, showtunes, gospel and pop.

In 1996, on the advice of a friend, Cindy Lu  tuned into a country music radio station.  She was instantly hooked! A "country convert" had been born!

Cindy Lu  started singing country songs and for the first time in her life, she felt as though her voice had "finally found a home." Since that day, Cindy Lu  has been singing cover as well as her own original tunes, and produced a demo CD of her original songs in 1999.  Three singles from Cindy Lu’s first CD made it to #1 on several Indie Charts. She has had the privilege of being showcased at Wolfy's and Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge in Nashville, TN, and has performed at Legends Corner and Barbara’s, and Wolfy's Tower Bar in the Gaylord Arena, all in the Downtown District of Nashville.  Cindy Lu  was a finalist in Froggy 101’s (Wilkes Barre, PA) True Value Jimmy Dean Country Showdown (1999). 

In her native region of Sussex County New Jersey, she won several talent contests, performs yearly at The New Jersey State Fair (2000-2004), in New York City at Don't Tell Mama (a nightclub and cabaret theatre), and countless benefits and private bookings.  Cindy Lu  was both a performer and nominee at the OCA Awards Show (Online Country Awards) in Laughlin, Nevada (October 2000) where she won the "Female Country Newcomer Award."  Cindy Lu  performed at the GMA Awards (Golden Music Awards) in Nashville during Fan Fair 2001.  Cindy Lu  was awarded the "2001 Upcoming Female Country Singer" award from NAR - New Artist Radio.  Cindy Lu  co-hosted and performed at the New Artist Radio Awards Show in Park City, Utah in March of 2002, and was awarded the 2004 AND 2002 Country Female Artist of the Year Award. NAR also awarded Cindy Lu  the 2003 Entertainer of The Year Award at the NAR Music Awards Show in May 2003, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Cindy Lu's love of country music has grown and developed, and Cindy Lu's second CD of original songs, "Two Sides", was released on June 2003, during a CD Release Party at The Hall of Fame Lounge in Nashville, TN, where she also performed that night. Songs from the "Two Sides" CD are currently being played worldwide, including "Guess I Didn't See It Comin' ", "Two Sides", and "Honky Tonk Songs".
