DISCOVER ANNA'S WORLD

Anna Gosteli grew up in the Austrian mountains, where her mother entertained the tourists by singing evergreens (often with her infant daughter) and playing self taught guitar to make them order another round. At the age of ten Anna got in touch with all kinds of music through the well renowned choir of her catholic boarding school. To this day harmonizing is one of her favorite musical tools. Anna is a professional singer and composer. She studied jazz composition, vocal performance and producing at the Music Academy of Northwestern Switzerland from 2009 to 2013. She is a founding member of the Swiss Artpop-band «The bianca Story», with whom she wrote and recorded the album «Coming Home» in 2010 at Abbey Road Studios in London. After winning the „Basel Pop Award“ in 2010, the band was signed to Tim Renner’s label MOTOR MUSIC in Berlin and reached the highest crowdfunding sum for music in Europe (€ 90,000) with the album «DIGGER» in 2013. Since 2011 she has been working regularly with the German film composer Biber Gullatz for German television productions, who let her produce her Swiss German project «Dr Schnuu und sini Tierli» in his home studio in Berlin in 2017. For that she received the «Get Going!» grant from the copyright society SUISA, worth CHF 25,000 in 2019. «Schnuu» has since been elating young and young at heart listeners with his Duo, Trio and Big Band Performances. Her newest and probably most elaborate project is the alternative pop band «Kid Empress». There she joins forces with four likeminded professional musicians who distillate their love for various styles and techniques. Anna teaches as an independent singing teacher and choir and band workshop leader at the music school Guggenheim in Liestal and for helvetiarockt who are committed to gender equality in contemporary music.
