ANDA
Anda is...
Composer – songwriter - singer Anda holds a special place on Singapore jazz scene, making a distinct impression with her Creole roots and Caribbean rhythms. Anda embodies an ironic, joyful and nostalgic jazz, rooted in the tangy complexity of human relationships.
From 1997 in France, her desire to sing is revived while humming soothing nursery rhymes to her newborns. As a tribute, the artist will forge her stage name Anda by combining the first names of her daughters. In 1998, Anda lends her powerful voice to a gospel choir in Rueil-Malmaison. She builds experience and joins her first singing tours.
In 2001, Anda settles in Singapore and begins a cosmopolitan career. She pursues her vocal training: jazz coaching with Babes Conde and singing techniques with lyrical soprano Stella Zhou.Simultaneously, Anda nurtures a growing passion for music song writing and composition. Her new life in Asia is the opportunity to step back and observe her contemporaries. More than ever, she acknowledges that jazz is the perfect medium to translate her vision of human contradictions.
Since 2003, Anda has appeared in numerous public and charitable concerts, featuring solo performances or appearances in festivals. She regularly performs in Singapore's most prestigious hotels. In May 2010, her first album, is released. In this very personal creation, she expresses her own experience of love, treason, and ecstasy as a mother, a partner and a friend.
In 2011, Anda is on tour in Canada and Guiana, performing her first album.
In March 2014, Andayoma releases her second album. It offers a collection of her singular Jazzattitude, rendering a mix of jazzy melodies celebrated in Creole and Caribbean rhythms pulsed in English.
