Anya is a Russian-born New York City-based songwriter and a quirky chanteuse. She breathes life into musical instruments and has an ability to hear inanimate objects talk. For a living she endeavors to comprehend all things poignant and impetuous, processing it all in her internal blender, and, as an end-result, regurgitating goods that make it all seem occasionally worthwhile. Anya is a love child of Leonard Cohen and Susanne Vega conceived during a Kurt Weill production, or perhaps, during the production of Tom Wait's "The Black Rider."
