About Me

Anna picked up a guitar in May 2005 looking for a creative outlet for her frustrations with school and life in general. By August she had written her first song, and in less than a year she had changed her major from pre-med to music business and won the coveted TKE Battle of the Bands at the famous Bluesboro in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Anna was introduced to music early as her pregnant mother played upright bass and her father played banjo in a bluegrass band that toured the southern folk and bluegrass festival circuit. She performed on stage herself at the age of 3 in a Suzuki violin recital. School and sports activities soon replaced the violin, but Anna remained an avid fan of a variety of music - from rhythm and blues, soul, jazz, and classic rock to pop, hip-hop, and indie rock.

This diverse background led to Anna's unique sound, a melting pot of genres converging in a musical flavor all her own. From the passionate and soulful "My Angels" to the sassy, upbeat "Firecracker" and the dark ballad "Her Prey", Anna hooks you with her mesmerizing voice and reels you in with her irresistible lyrics. Her first EP, "Firecracker", has received exceptional reviews from fans and music industry professionals. Anna hopes you enjoy listening to her new EP, Firecracker, and looks forward to seeing all of you at upcoming shows and events.
