"I started performing professionally in Musicals and later was signed to major record label when I was still very young. I worked with Tony Swaine (Spandau Ballet, Kim Wylde, Bananarama), Gary Kemp (Spandau Ballet), Trevor Steel and John Holiday (Escape Club) and recorded at and AIR Studios London and even shared a cup of tea with Sir George Martin and Sir Paul McCartney in the cafeteria whist Elton John was rehearsing in the main studio and Cold Play were recording their second studio album in another studio, pretty amazing when I think about it. Despite my debut single reaching No.7 on the ARIA Australian Singles Chart, that adventure came to an end. However, I continued to perform in shows and tour Nationally and Internationally alongside many Artists including, Christine Anu, Ian Moss, Ross Wilson, Tony Hatch, Vanessa Amorosi, Tina Arina.”
Following an inspirational road trip with my girlfriends in 2017 to Nashville, Memphis and Graceland, Anita started writing songs again.
“I went back to Nashville in May 2018, I collaborated with many acclaimed songwriters including Mark Narmore and Doug Gills and I came home with a lot of songs and I’ve continued to write songs on my own and with others back home in Australia.”
