About Anita Fernandes:
Anita Fernandes, nicknamed by fans in Brazil as 'Australian Songbird' gracefully marries her soprano classical technique with her passion for Latin & World music.
At the age of 19 she moved to London and gained much experience as lead singer of a 9 piece disco funk band. Her talent was first discovered by renowned Australian country singer, 'James Blundell'. He then went on to produce her first album with her former group 'Yemanja' alongside Brazilan guitarist Eddie Gazani. Yemanja recorded another two albums in Brazil featuring some of Brazilian Jazz's biggest names such as Toninho Horta, Beto Lopes.
Anita unites her love of travel & culture with her music by singing in many different cultural styles and languages (Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French). Her voice & compositions led her to play on stages all around the world in Brazil, France, Italy, Japan, UK, Greece, Germany & of course, her motherland Australia.
