"BEST NEW FOREIGN ARTIST" AT ADLIB MAGAZINE AWARDS JAPAN 2006!
Annekei grew up in a family of music. Her parents were both jazz musicians and her 4 brothers - just like herself - mastered their instruments at a very young age. She sings, plays the piano and guitar in addition to writing all of her own material.
At 19-years-old, Annekei moved from her home country, Denmark, to pursue her musical ambitions in New York City. Since her arrival in 2002, the young singer has been performing venues as varied as Joe’s Pub, Pianos, The Metropolitan Café, Rockwood Music Hall, The Living Room, Bowery Poetry Club, Suite 16, The Cutting Room, Blue Note, The Bitter End and Fez under Time Cafe. In 2003 she made it to the finals of the amateur night competition on the TV show, “Showtime at The Apollo” performing her original song “Close Your Eyes”. 2 years later, her single “More Of Your Love” broke on the club scene in the UK.
In 2006 she signed with a Japanese label and released her self-titled debut album in September the same year. The single “Brother” made it to no. 4 on the Japanese charts within 2 weeks of release, rose to no. 1 vocal album” on Japanese iTunes, and landed her the title: “Best New Foreign Artist” at the AD LIB AWARDS 2006. Her second solo album “Tsuki” dropped only 9 months after the debut, followed up by the collaboration project “Letter” with Korean guitarist Jack Lee. In June this year Annekei released her 3rd solo album “Touch” produced by legendary guitarist Lee Ritenour and featuring a prolific group of musicians from Los Angeles. She is currently touring Asia in support of the record, as well as "bicoastal'y" writing and recording for her 4th album.
