ANNIA recently performed a special showcase at the Women Musicians Network Show at Berklee College of Music in the USA. She wrote English lyrics for her hit song Bez Tebe. It is entitled Without You to sing on the big occasion.

ANNIA got to perform with the all female violinists and band and backing vocalists. Bez Tebe was originally composed by Darko Dimitrov and now ANNIA has added the English lyrics and made the special arrangement with Salvatore Zanelli.

ANNIA is now in her third year at Berklee College of Music and learning and progressing each day. I am sure we will see even more of her talent in the near future.

Now ANNIA is blossoming in to an ever more promising vocalist and musician as she gains valuable experience studying in the USA.
