ANIKA

ANIKA THE QUINTESSENTIAL STYLIST OF THE SONGPure, unadulterated soul, as youve never heard it before. An uncompromising blend of funk, soul and rock, this lyrical diva presents the sound of the future against the comfort zone of the past.This Minneapolis native displays a global influence indicative of her mid-western roots and Nigerian upbringing. From Billie Holiday to Meshell Ndege ocello; from Fela to Prince-and the burgeoning sounds of the underground; Her message is clear-THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.She puts into words what most are afraid to admit about themselves or the world around them. From the anthem, The ONE to the soulful testifying of I Wanna Be Bad or the sexy jazz hit, Like A Drug, she articulates an honesty and sensuality unseen in decades.Reviewed by the Minneapolis areas CITY PAGES, as a soul diva with the just the right amount of attitude in the popular zines Picked to Click poll, ANIKA has been secretly wowing her native Minneapolis constituents (who, by the way range from suburban bourgeois to urban trip-hoppers) for quite some time now. Her very presence had a very eager audience of 1200 at the legendary First Avenue nightclub wrapped so tight around her sexy little pinky finger, the poll continues.Her goal is to empower people-women in particular-to stand up and be counted; to be sexy, to be outspoken, to dare to dream and to live the dream.Each person has the unique prospect of creating their wildest dreams, says ANIKA. Live each day creating and living your dream.The face of the world is changing, here to herald the dawn of a new day is ANIKA-the quintessential stylist of the song.For contact and booking info call 612. 670. 6355 or www.anikainternational.com..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Editor
