About Me

"So f***ing smoky you can almost hear the crackling on the record"

"Makes 'Dream a Little Dream' more of a sexy lament than a gushy lullaby..."

The genre of Anuska's music captures elements of modern jazz and blues, adding touches of soul and a more parred-down acoustic vibe as it progresses, culminating in a sound that is all her own. Her influences include Eva Cassidy, Nina Simone and Jamie Cullum. Based in Somerset, Cheltenham and very soon, London she is a popular performer at a variety of venues.

Anuska's most recent work, a collection entitled Blue Tales , can for the most part be heard above.

But I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall

It seems that whether september brings a move away from home/back to uni or not, it is just as hard a month of transition to cope with. Things are changing in more of a way than was expected or wante...
