Anna Eriksson

Anna Eriksson was born April 22, 1977 in Rauma, Finland. Because of her fathers job, Anna spent most of her childhood and teenage years traveling around the world. The family lived in India, Tanzania and Saudi-Arabia. Anna studied music from early on, concentrating in singing. After graduating college she recorded her first album which instantly became a huge success in Finland. She has recorded ten albums, writing and producing the last four of them herself. Anna has won many awards, including two Emma prizes (the Finnish Grammy), and from her 2012 album MANA, she received the Teosto prize, that is one of the biggest art prizes in the Nordic countries. It was established by the Finnish Composers' Copyright Society Teosto. In 2013 Anna put her musical career on hold and began working on her film M. " This work has been a true challenge and an obsession. Making films that are unique pieces of art is what I want to do in the future. I have found a medium that challenges me to the limit and gives me a chance to work with all of my passions; writing, visuality and music, but most importantly, emotion."
