Described by some as, "Eartha Kitt meets Rikki Lee Jones" - Anna, with her unusual, distinctive voice and her intimate songwriting style, has been attracting attention and gathering fans. A classically trained pianist, her songs and her personal approach to expressing her lyrics provide a very "real" listening opportunity, both in live and recorded performances.
An avid fan of many genres of music, Anna began songwriting at a very young age and has always been particularly interested in drawing from various musical styles to create her own personal sound. The diversity of her material reflects the influences of her multi-cultural life experiences.
Anna was born in New Orleans, LA and moved to Canada where she lived in both Niagara Falls and Montreal, studying music at The Royal Conservatory of Music. After returning to the U.S. and living on the coast of Maine, Anna moved to Puerto Rico for a decade where she began her performing career.
Currently Anna lives in the Woodstock, NY area and with the help of some amazing Woodstock talent, Anna has been touring and performing material from her CD, "Closer to Now" as well as her live release, "LIVE at Mast Cove". She has opened for notable artists such as Richie Havens, Marshall Crenshaw, Bo Diddley, Jeffrey Gaines and shared the stage with the likes of Jim Weider, (The Band), Mike DeMicco, (Bruebeck Brothers), Bar Scott, John Holt, and Valen, to name a few.
