ANASTASIA A

Anastasia A is an artist who creates a path with a purpose. “ It means something to me to be a part of a bigger picture and to do great things. Running and operating an indie label and fighting my way through has made me realize that this is worth it only if I touch, move and inspire people along the way”.

Anastasia’s career choices are driven by creating movements, inspiring youth and dedicating her platform to stand up for what truly matters to her heart. Anastasia has had the pleasure of opening and performing next to artists such as Shawn Desman, These Kids Wear Crowns, Tyler Shaw, Eleven Past One, Neverest, 4Count, Rebel Coast, Justin Nozuka, A-Game, Three Days Grace, By Starlight, Finger Eleven, Jillea, The Trews, Catey Shaw, SUBLIME, Scotty James and Tokyo Police Club.

Anastasia independently released her first single, “Kiss & Tell” through Universal. “I think it was one of the first 3 songs I ever wrote and that single introduced me into the business. I really wanted to take the reins and learn the business myself.” She spent 2 years on the court and really feeling out what it meant to do this for a living. “I really enjoyed the thrill of contacting people, co-managing my opportunities all while finding my voice”.

In May of 2012, Anastasia won Toronto International Music Summit’s Best Pop Act contest partnered with ReverbNation. Earlier that year, she was among the top 1O artists in EMI’s national talent search (MO Artist), which later led her to establish her first publishing deal. She was also named “most talked about” upcoming artist by sponsors Hot 89.99 during the 2012 JUNO awards in Ottawa where Anastasia partnered up with dance label PBR recordings. The outcome was five remixes of her single “Kiss & Tell”, released on Beatport.

Writing lyrics and melodies is always on the agenda. Anastasia got her start through Producer Jazz Feezy (Devon Tracey, JRDN, and JOJO) of Boi-1da Productions who mentored and advised her to continue writing. She most recently collaborated internationally with Carlos Escalona (UMG Publishing) and pop writer-producer Francesco De Santi (Gabesco Publishing- Italy) that led her to a Rob Davis (Kylie Minogue) placement on her debut EP, Something Inside You. She continues to co write with pop writers and has recently began her adventure writing with established Country music groups.

Anastasia’s recent performances include headlining Canadian music week’s pop showcase, Faze Magazine’s Power Up Concert, The Drake Underground, Hockey Fest, Toronto Fashion Incubator’s 25th Anniversary, ReelWorld Film Festival, Toronto International Music Summit, and Free the Children’s We Day stadium tour. She was one of the selected artists for Family Channel’s anti bullying campaign (STAND UP!) where she recorded a song alongside artists such as Victoria Duffield, Tyler Medeiros and other Disney stars.
