Annastasia Victory: "Ain't Nobody"

Annastasia Victory: "Ain't Nobody"

One of my greatest joys as a musician is to take a familiar melody and reimagine it through the lens of my classical training. I am thrilled to announce my latest single, “Ain’t Nobody,” a dynamic, tribal piano-driven interpretation of Chaka Khan’s instantly recognizable hit. This energetic cover brings a new sense of urgency and passion to a soulful classic.

AñaVañA: Self-Titled Debut Album

I wrote music and performed with AñaVañA (pronounced onya-vonya), a rock-reggae band based in New York City. In December 2003, we signed with Zip Records, and our debut album was released to rave reviews:  "Annastasia can move from belting it out to shy schoolgirl in a heartbeat, and admirably covers all points in between... a pleasant alternative to No Doubt."---- NY Rock
