"Drumming is a primal, passionate expression of who I am."

Anna was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. “My mother was a drummer, so it is in my blood.” At age 7 she started piano lessons and at age 10, she joined the school band and was the first female drummer of her school. Influenced by Weird Al, Cyndi Lauper, Van Halen, disco and 70’s pop records played at home, her drum idols were to become John Bonham, Ginger Baker and Terry Bozzio.

Anna’s passion for the drums led her to study for 10 years with noted percussionist Elliot Fine, a 44-year veteran of the Minnesota Orchestra, and renowned co-author of 4-Way Coordination, an innovative and nationally regarded drum method book. Anna often says, “He was a huge influence on me as a drummer and in my life. He always told me because I was a girl, I needed to play louder than everyone else (in the school band).”

Presently in Denver, Anna plays with a corporate variety band doing private parties, weddings and festivals. She spends ample time in the recording studio, moving from one project to the next.
