Early years

After an early debut as a child actor in various opera productions, Anna’s childhood experiences brought her to theatre in 1989 at La comedie de Paris in Paris where she performed alongside Gerard Caillaud and Gerard Loussine in La Premiere Tete. She studied classical music at the Paris Conservatoire through La Maitrise de Paris where she become a soloist, and also studied and performed ballet and modern dance. Her experiences during this period significantly shaped her professionalism, musicality and versatility: and she became a seasoned child performer at concert oratorios, recordings and TVs shows. As a young performer having to think about developing her own independent career, Anna stopped singing and dancing for several years, opting instead for specialised training in music technologies, adding a range of behind-the-scenes techniques to her ‘on-stage’ persona.
