Influences
It's a tough one this.. but I can give you a list of some of the bands and musicians I've loved over the years. R.E.M., Radiohead, Tracey Chapman, David Bowie, P.J. Harvey, Tori Amos, Shawn Colvin, Lucinda Williams, The Breeders, Bob Dylan, Stacey Earl, Lou Reed, Janis Joplin, Sleater Kinney, Patti Smith, The Pixies, Belly, Leftfield, The Fugees, Lauren Hill, The Beatles, The Gotan Project, Manu Chao, Dreadzone, Placebo (the earlier stuff), Elbow, Ash, The Lightning Seeds, The Cure, Amy MacDonald, and so many undiscovered artists that are working so hard to be heard...
I'm a singer, I'm a songwriter and I'm a guitarist and when I put all these things together I create songs for my pleasure and for the pleasure of anyone who'd like to listen.. just scroll up and you'll hear them for yourself.
Writing music, for me, is the most perfect way to express all the feelings that life inspires and I write quite simply from the heart.

Dave Urwin - Live-music-scene reviews Silly Heart EP
'It can’t be denied that there’s a very important place in any music lover’s world for the traditional song. Anna Young has the courage to rely on little more than her voice and an acoustic guitar, and the four tracks on this EP suggest that in an intimate candlelit venue on a weekday evening she would soften the nagging ache of reality... The vocal delivery made me think of Beth Orton’s earlier work, and inspired me to listen to some of it for the first time in too long.'
