Winner of The Voice 2014, Anja Nissen is an Australian singer, songwriter, dancer and actress from the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney, Australia. Anja’s love of music was encouraged by her Danish immigrant parents who have supported Anja in following her dreams, from junior talent quests through to concert stages. Anja is a unique young vocalist, whose incredible voice and girl next-door persona see her touch people with that intangible and rare “X factor”. She began charming audiences when she was just 6 years old!
Anja has an angelic quality and enjoys the contrasts of being glamorous for a performance before Danish Royalty, and then a regular Aussie teenager who enjoys riding her motorbike around the farm and playing with her pets including, a duck, a rabbit, a cat, and dog. Saving stranded or sick animals is another of her favourite pastimes seeing Mum and Dad frightened to lift the lid on a mysterious box they might discover!
Having been mistaken for being a mature black music artist, Anja’s unique vocal sound emanates from the greats who have inspired her such as Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. In her new album song demonstrations Anja’s own blued-eyed soul and RnB pop sound is identifiably influenced by these great vocalists. Having listened to Anja’s voice, RnB pop legend Taylor Dayne excitedly agreed for Anja to record her recently penned emotive ballad “Born To Sing”.
Anja’s vocal style is classic with a rich tone, perfect pitch, a massive range and the ability to emotionally connect with her songs like the seasoned recording artists she so much admires.
Anja’s core audience associates with artists such as Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Shakira, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Mylie Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Pink, Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera while fans of artists such as Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Patti Labelle, Annie Lennox, Donna Summer, and Brandy will also appreciate Anja’s musicality and the sheer authenticity in her sound.
