Singing with Anna D.

I am a professional vocalist, songwriter, pianist, producer and more based in Los Angeles, CA.

I have performed both lead and background vocals for Chaka Khan (10 time Grammy Winner), Bill Withers (3 time Grammy Winner), Lamont Dozier, John Fogerty and more. As a songwriter, vocalist, and producer - my original compositions have been licensed on various TV Show's and films including HBO, TVLand, and more and heard by over 5.6 million listeners. My versatility as a performer, vocalist, and songwriter allow me to create an environment where I tailor lesson plans to a student's specific goals. Whether performance on stage, vocal technique, or songwriting. As a mentee to Warner Brother's CEO Lenny Waronker, I have plentiful knowledge about the Music Industry and how to succeed and sustain a career within it. I have studied under world renown piano prodigy Patrice Rushen (Herbie Hancock, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder). I have studied production and vocals under Sean Holt (Carlos Santana, Slash, Kenny Loggins), Vocal technique under Romeo Johnson (Vocal coach for Mariah Carey, Trey Songz, Ne-Yo, Michael Jackson), and studied songwriting under Narada Michael Walden (Producer and writer for Whitney Houston, Jeff Beck, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Diana Ross, Natalie Cole, and more). I have a diverse background of musical experience and teaching, which allows me to intertwine various components of music, whether vocal technique, background vocals, songwriting, performance, or production. This array is used to specify a unique plan to achieve student's goals. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me! I hope I have an opportunity to learn more about you! :)
