Arto Lindsay(born May 28, 1953) is an American guitarist and singer.
Lindsay was born in the USA, but spent many years in Brazil with his missionary parents.
He formed the no wave group DNA, famous for a remixed version of Susanne Vega's song "Tom's Diner". Later, he and Peter Sherer joined to form the Ambitious Lovers, putting out three albums: Greed, Envy, and Lust. These albums blended Sherer's keyboards with Lindsay's Brazilian Music influences and skronk guitar playing.
Lindsay went on to a solo career which was significantly more oriented toward his Brazilian roots, singing in Portugese more frequently, throwing in occasional covers of Bossa Nova classics like João Gilberto's "Este Seu Olhar", and updating his sound from 80s new-wave to more current types of electronica.
He has also appeared in tie-ins with other artists, such as a cameo appearance in the Madonna vehicle "Desperately Seeking Susan" and playing skronk guitar in the song "Hearing Aid" on They Might Be Giants's "Flood".
