Anika Moa - Youthful

Anika Moa started her career when she was just 13, when she began writing songs. She writes all her songs and amongst other instruments is more than handy on the guitar. She was born in Auckland and raised in Christchurch. She is the first New Zealand artist to be signed to a major US label without having released an album. After hearing demos, Warner NZ rang her up and said "let's go to New York". When Atlantic Records heard her they instantly signed her up. As a result she is now signed to Warner New Zealand and Atlantic Records in the USA. Anika Moa is a singer/songwriter who needs little introduction. She burst onto the New Zealand music scene 3 years ago with the double-platinum album 'Thinking Room'. Singles such as 'Youthful', 'Good In My Head', and 'Falling In Love Again' became massive hits and led the charge in the renaissance of local music on commercial radio. A plethora of touring followed in the wake of this success. Aside from Anika's obvious songwriting skills, her talents are nowhere more apparent than when playing live. Anika is a true raconteur — not just holding audiences spellbound with her songs, but keeping them entertained with her witty, often hilarious, between song banter and stories. She has the down-to-earth kiwi humour that wins audiences over in an instant and keeps them returning for more. Anika is currently working on material for her new album which she describes as being "more raw and earthy" than it's predecessor. Displaying her maturity as a songwriter, Anika has opted to write about weightier topics than the standard singer/songwriter ruminations on love and life. In her new works she explores the notion of Aotearoa's nationhood, and in particular the recurrent themes of her own Maori heritage — the legacy of culture, land and tangata whenua. Where was Maoridom then, where is it now and where is it going? So few songwriters dare to challenge themselves and audiences anymore in the sanitised and 'play-it-safe' culture of the modern global music industry. In Anika Moa, New Zealand can lay claim to a true artist using her voice intelligently and thoughtfully. She has collaborated with The Feelers lead singer/songwriter James Reid on a number of songs and they appear on her debut album. Anika's debut single was 'Youthful' and her debut album released in 2001 is called 'Thinking Room'. Winner of Top Female Vocalist and Songwriter of the Year in the 2002 NZ Music Awards! http://www.muzic.net.nz/artist... http://www.anikamoa.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... http://www.nzgirl.co.nz/articl...
