David Linx (born 22 March 1965 in Brussels) is a Belgian jazz and chanson singer, composer and lyricist.
Linx, a son of the composer and musician Elias Gistelinck, studied percussion and was the drummer of the American jazz singer Mark Murphy for three years, which motivated him to start singing himself. Linx has been teaching jazz singing at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels since 1993. In 1986 he recorded a record with a large group of musicians with the American writer and activist James Baldwin, who reads poems on it. The musicians included Pierre Van Dormael and Slide Hampton. In 1990 he made an album, on which he is accompanied by Jack van Poll. In the early nineties he started collaborating with pianist Diederik Wissels, whom he has known since childhood. With him Linx recorded several duo records over the years.
