Winner of The Voice 2014, Anja Nissen is an Australian singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress from the Blue Mountains near Sydney. Encouraged by her Danish immigrant parents, Anja has been pursuing her musical dreams from junior talent quests to concert stages. With an incredible voice and a girl-next-door persona, she has been captivating audiences since she was just six years old.
Anja embodies a unique blend of glamour and down-to-earth charm. She can perform before Danish royalty and then enjoy riding her motorbike around the farm, playing with her pets—a duck, a rabbit, a cat, and a dog. Her love for rescuing stranded or sick animals often leads to her parents finding mysterious boxes around the house.
Her vocal sound, often mistaken for a mature black music artist, is influenced by the greats such as Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Christina Aguilera. Her latest album showcases her own blue-eyed soul and RnB pop sound. RnB pop legend Taylor Dayne was so impressed with Anja’s voice that she agreed for Anja to record her emotive ballad "Born To Sing."
Anja’s vocal style is classic with a rich tone, perfect pitch, a massive range, and an ability to connect emotionally with her songs, much like the seasoned recording artists she admires.
Her core audience resonates with contemporary artists like Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Shakira, Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Pink, Leona Lewis, and Christina Aguilera. Fans of iconic vocalists 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 authenticity.
