Annaca is a Kent based singer/songwriter. She performs by herself on the piano as well as with her four-piece band that include Leo Humphries, Samuel Harrison and Ben Bashi. The music is very soulful and jazzy, with a playful electronic edge. There is a dramatic and theatrical essence about the music and performance Annaca and her band give out, having been described by the Emerging Icons as “a whirlwind of bright colours and rich, velvety sound."

In 2013 Annaca released her debut EP named, Haunted which was produced by the talented Jim Lowe (Stereophonics). The first single from the EP, 'Delilah' achieved record of the week status on BBC Kent Introducing. In Dec 2013 Annaca won a competition hosted by Dawsons Music and Yamaha Pianos whereby she was chosen by Jools Holland himself to open up his live show at the O2 Apollo in Manchester. 

Hunger Magazine illustrates  Annaca as "every inch the star her incredible voice promises". 2014 should be an exciting year for her having been working away at a new EP with electro producer Mike Joyce (IDNTY),  hoping for release in the Spring of  2014.
