Anna Murray is a
prolific performing songwriter. Drawing from those who inspire her
and driven by the success of those whom she aspires to be, each new
song conveys an emotion that her audience can relate to whilst
attracting new listeners in the process with the positively and
determination of her performance making Anna Murray a distinctive
and natural talent.
Anna made her first
public performance of her own compositions at the age of 14, "There
is nothing else I would want to do, there is nothing else that could
possibly take its place. It is my passion, hobby, every waking
thought, my life, and that will never stop. I count myself as an
extremely lucky person to have the personal motivation to want to
incessantly work at something." Her inspirations have
expanded the scope to focus her thoughts and ideas in order to
channel them into her songs, and it it this human aspect that helps
make Anna's music so appealing to those who hear it, "My
musical influences are extremely diverse, and my appreciation for
some of the all time great female vocalists have made me very
critical of how I sing and perform. People want to hear real songs
by a real person, and it is incredibly fulfilling for my songs to
succeed in that way. Seeing people smile back when I sing, knowing
that someone has engaged to me or my song and reacted is very
powerful".
Anna has selected a
group of musicians dextrous yet united in creating the perfect
musical surrounding for each song. The way the performance comes
across to her audiences is an aspect Anna strives to
perfect, "Having seen some of my idols in concert, I find
that I am working out what I would do to improve the sound and the
show if it were me and my band performing". Anna's
experienced band have accompanied her in playing at many leading
venues across the country, frequently being asked to make return
headline appearances.
With a large and
expanding catalogue of original songs, Anna's delivery in
performance along with the quality and charm that her distinctive
songs and vocals express continues to attract and deepen her fan
base.
