Singer-songwriter Anna Beatriz came to the United States from Santos, Brazil with a long list of accomplishments and an even longer list of dreams. Currently she sets up shop in Hollywood, CA where she has just completed her Associate of Arts degree in Musicians Institute's Vocal Program, as well as winning the Outstanding Student Award. Anna is prepared to debut her music across the city and carries with her a catalog of songs filled with soaring chord melodies that combine jazz and pop with ease. Her lyrics are nothing short of tender and personal, reflecting how emotionally intelligent she really is. Her performances convey a rich Brazilian upbringing and natural charm that draw the listeners into her show.
Anna Beatriz flourished in the arts while growing up. She began playing the piano at eight years old and quickly fell into the study of theater and dance. Her teenage years were spent teaching piano, playing for church, writing jingles and discovering her own voice as an artist while traveling with her band. What seemed like a hectic teenage schedule at the time was ultimately the foundation of a gypsy lifestyle on the road with her music.
In 2006, Anna recorded her first record and had exceptional success follow. In the midst of playing shows, gaining recognition and developing a relationship with her fans, Anna had several opportunities to leave the country and take her study of music even further. Boston, Portugal and even Paris were all available to her but when the chance to fly to Los Angeles arose, it only took her two days to decide. Without delay, she gathered her bubbly personality, all the knowledge incurred from touring and flew to the U.S. wearing a warm yet determined smile. If asked how she was okay with leaving everything behind on short notice, she would tell you that the universe conspired for it, simply saying, "Everything happens for a reason."
Anna arrived in the Spring of 2011 and has yet to slow down. During her studies at Musicians Institute she co-wrote an entire musical that was sent off to Brazil, taught music and performed. She now treks the city, scooping up every opportunity that promises another. Since her arrival, Anna has learned a tremendous amount about life and states that she is ready for anything that comes her way. With a heart overflowing with experience, Anna has come to the realization that she isn't chasing music, rather it's chasing her instead. She can't get away from it.

I’m really excited about all the news that I have to share with you. Last year was an amazing year. I graduated from Musicians Institute (MI) and right after released my single “Beautiful Ride” in one of the most famous jazz venues in Los Angeles—Catalina Jazz Club. I shared the stage with my band that I much appreciated (Arturo Lopez, Felipe Villar, Marcus Heier, Kevin Lambertucci, and Sandy Chao) plus Max Fronex and Hosny Frank playing sax and trombone. AND, I had great experience to talk more about my project at GLOBAL VILLAGE—90.7FM KPFK, a LA radio station. I’m really thankful for all the blessings and I want to say THANKS to you for all the support and love.
Right now I’m playing piano for talented singer-songwriters Daniel Sobrino and Jonina Aradottir (both my friends). But what excites me the most is that I’m recording my first EP with my band. The EP will feature 5 songs—all originals! So far we have all the instruments recorded except the horn section. Soon, Anna Beatriz and Band will tour around US! For all the latest updates, please check my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/annabeatriz.official
That’s all for now! Once again, thanks for everything. I hope you enjoy the news. And one more thing: there’s free download on the MI’s website. Go check it out for my single “Beautiful Ride” and more beautiful music from other talented artists.
Happy 2013! Yupiii!

Beautiful People,
Well, here we are.I just graduated from Musicians Institute, receiving an Associate of Arts Degree in Vocal Performance. I’m happy to have accomplished one more dream. I’m collecting them one by one. A big thank you to all my instructors at MI, it was a pleasure to learn, to grow, and to realize that Music and Life can’t walk without each other. A Special thanks to all my family, my amazing Mom; my friends from Brazil e my new friends from all parts of the World; and thanks to this beautiful soul/singer/teacher/ in the picture (Charissa H.), it was a delight to have you in my life and a privilege to call you my friend.
…and more dreams are ahead!

Gente do meu Brasil!
Como estão as coisas por ai, nesse pais maravilhoso? E a linda cidade de Santos-SP, quais as novidades? Muitas, com certeza! Eu estou cheia de saudades desse ritmo brasileiro.
No momento estou Musicando em Los Angeles (Califórnia). Sendo uma artista independente, configurei o site com minhas próprias mãos (deu um trabalhão mas valeu a pena). Assim que terminei o site me pus a perguntar: "E como faço para ter um contato mais pessoal com o Brasil?" Foi ai que descobri o "tumblr". Então ao invés de configurar o site em duas linguas diferentes, eu optei por criar um site/blog como ferramenta de interação EUA-BRASIL.
