Anna Gilbert is a completely independent, self-produced, and self-composed artist. Her musical exploration began at a very young age when her father and mother introduced her to the piano and singing. One of her favorite past times as a child was making up songs while her father played simple chords on his acoustic guitar. Anna's childhood was one which thrust and immersed her into the very core and heart of song writing. Her parents played in a blue grass band and sang in a quartet, and her father was a music major and teacher before becoming a minister and worship leader. It was at her church in Eugene, Oregon that she gained much of her musical experience singing and performing in church choirs and small ensembles.
It was in elementary school that song writing became one of Anna's first loves. After winning an honorable mention in the fifth grade for her song composition in a city wide competition, Anna knew she had a strong passion to move people through the medium of music.
Throughout Anna's teenage years, she developed a large repertoire of song compositions. She began filling up notebooks, journals, slips of paper, and cassette tapes with lyrics and song ideas.
Anna began the recording process in a small studio in Eugene. Without the funds to hire an arranger or producer, Anna embarked on her project with only a couple friends to help her do the arranging and producing. She finally had a finished product a year later in 2003 and released her CD God Sees in Eugene and Portland on an extremely local and independent level. Without a website, marketing capabilities, or major publicity, God Sees sold 1,000 copies within the first few months of its release. As the word spread and the buzz grew, she began being invited to sing in Oregon, Washington, and California.
Anna has since recorded her second album &Falling in a Beautiful Place& - completely self composed and self produced.
She has also recorded a third album &YOUR LOVE MY MEDICINE& with Grammy Award Winning Producer, Charlie Peacock. The two met in Seattle, WA and after hearing Anna's music, he felt she had something special. The two began an artist development and song writing relationship, and began writing for the third album set to release in February
Anna Gilbert is an emerging indie artist from the Northwest. Her greatest strengths lie in her piano playing, her pure voice, and her utterly vulnerable lyrics. Anna's melodies sweep across rhythmically catchy and laid back tracks on her third album, &Your Love My Medicine&, produced by Grammy Award winning producer Charlie Peacock. Her music is mellow, yet gripping and intense at times. Gilbert's third album is by far her most musically diverse and upbeat album, although it still plays on Anna's best features - honesty, heart, and sweeter than honey melodies.
