Time 2 Shine Radio

Hello Everyone!!! We are back like we never left! Tune into this amazing interview we had with 22 years old singer AnnaAmes!! Nothing short of Amazing! Her voice is unmatched! She does opera!!
More about Anna:
Music tells a powerful story, and Anna, age 22 has a story more powerful than most. She writes and sings her own original music, that with driving beats and her throaty, almost haunting voice accompaniment, evokes a tale of true strength and commitment.
Since she was a young girl, she has been taking care of her sisters, ages 25 and 27, who both have autism. Her parents, whose work and responsibilities often kept them away from their Tampa home, hence Anna, became not only sister, also a caretaker. This was no easy task, as Maria, the oldest, has asthma and Christina was diagnosed with epilepsy at eight years
old.
Both of her sisters are mentally at a second-grade level. Putting herself through the University of Central Florida in Orlando, two hours away, returning often to help with the care of her sisters, Anna was able to finish her four-year BS in Entertainment Management degree in three years. To support herself, she had to begin paying her own way when she turned 14. Anna began singing in local night clubs, waitressing, and recording her own music. Her most notable singing gig was a one hour set every Friday at Cocktails and Screams in downtown Orlando.
For six months, Anna would cover blues and pop songs in ballgowns that she would find at Goodwill. It was during this time, at age 20, that Anna chose to be sober, before she was even legal.
My goal is to be the guardian of my sisters and keep them with me,” she explained about her work ethic. “I want to be as successful as Rihanna,” she added feeling that she is well on her way with the success of her self-produced album “Wish You Well... in Hell” & EP “Rose Outta Concrete” and her debut album, “Trap Queen” produced by Jaica Studios.
