Anya has been singing most of her life. Based in Europe for 7 years and Paris for three years, she was raised in the eastern United States. After being involved in many choirs as a kid, she started her first band at age 12 as a singer, keyboardist and guitar player. She continued on to lead a punk band in high school as singer and bass player.
She moved to Europe in 2000 after finishing university in New York City and started the group Alvik in Prague with Czech drummer/producer Mishan. They have been doing a mix of nu-jazz, downtempo, and nu-soul together for 6 years now. Their live show features a crafted mix of acoustic and electronic sounds glazed with elegant vocals.
The last few years Anya has been singing on more projects and has gotten involved in DJing as well as the Soul/Funk/R&B DJ Sister Soul . Anya attended the Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle in November 2005 where she met the most amazing group of talented people she's ever collaborated with and hopes to collaborate more and more in the future with those awesome cats. In the meantime, she has started collaborations with producers like O.Boogie (NL) , Breakplus (CH) , Orakel (AT) and DJ Yass (FR) .
