  • Bio

    Multi-instrumentalist and dance guru Chris Brann, who is the mastermind behind other garage/house tasks such as the Wamdue Project, Wamdue Kidz, and P'Taah, spawned another house-bred project in the late '90s, aptly titled the Ananda Project. The Ananda Project was originally a side thing until Brann was sought out to write a song for the dance label King Street. The song turned into a working relationship with singer/songwriter Gaelle Adisson, and the Ananda Project was underway in 1998 with the cut "Cascades of Colour," and the second single "Straight Magic" followed a year later. Having released 6 albums since the year 2000, 2011 promises to be another incredible year for Ananda Project. With multiple releases in store from King Street Sounds, as well as the launch of the new imprint Ananda Project Recordings, which highlight the vocal talents of favourites Terrance Downs, Heather Johnson, Alex Lattimore and more.
