In trying to capture the essence and musical excitement of Anna (pronounced AH-na) Duboc, the standard clichés we usually reach for to describe such a phenomenon - naturally gifted, prodigy, old soul, on fire - seem limiting. Anna has already sung with Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli and Kenny Loggins and has appeared with her middle school choir at Carnegie Hall. Now, with the release of her latest original song, 'Ballad,' the multi-talented singer, songwriter, and performer is quickly emerging as a powerful, eloquent, and inspirational voice of her generation and beyond. Anna has accomplished much during her 13th year. In addition to 'Ballad,' she recorded Demi Lovato's 'Stone Cold' live for You Tube as a follow up to her 2 original songs, 'Blamed it on Me,' and 'Yellow Car.' She has now accumulated over 2 million views on You Tube. Having come from a highly artistic family, Anna has been singing, dancing, and performing on stage since she was four years old. Her mother Carol has penned hits for Patti Labelle, Tom Jones, and others and has hit the charts with numerous jazz albums over the past 18 years. While one of Anna's great grandmothers was a prima ballerina, the other was a concert pianist. Her great grandfather was an opera singer. From ages 4 to 7, Anna sang "Yesterday" so often that her tennis coach nicknamed her after the Beatles classic. Influenced by everyone from Queen to Ariana Grande and Rihanna and more recently Billie Eilish, Anna began writing songs in the third grade and created a CD of her music for a school assignment. Anna's musical theater resume is off the charts as well. Her theatre school, the Adderley School for Performing Arts, has been the home of Jack Dylan Grazer (from Stephen King's "It" and "Shazam"), Dakota Lotus (from Disney's "Coop and Cami"), and Golden Globe winner Ben Platt (from "The Book of Mormon," "Pitch Perfect," "Dear Evan Hansen"). Anna performed the lead role in "Anything Goes," her first musical, at age 5 with Grazer and as Penny in "Hairspray" with Lotus. Other shows she has starred in include "West Side Story," "Les Miserable," "Thoroughly Modern Millie," and "Ruthless." Anna has also enjoyed being a member of the MnR Dance Team, a competitive group that competes throughout Southern California and performs for local children's charities. After winning the combination dance and singing solo competition, Anna was asked to sing the solo at Staples Center in front of Shaquille O'Neal and the L.A. Clippers. In August 2019, she performed numerous solos in the "Footloose" revival concert with Kenny Loggins and his band to an awestruck crowd!
