MULTI-CULTURAL: "I am a Latin-American Jazz Vocalist from Motown!, - a naturalized Canadian of 1/2 Mexican, 1/2 Scotch-Irish-English heritage. It is only in my music, that this rich heritage flows together freely..."

A STYLE AND VOICE ALL HER OWN. ;  Anna Lyman grew up in (Detroit) Motown!    She has been described by renowned Jazz Drummer, Keith Copeland as a "tremendous talent". Juno Award winner Rick Kilburn described her vocal ability as "just like the old masters". But no one sings like Anna! With a distinct retro quality, Anna brings a new dimension to modern jazz vocals. Anna's lush vocals go straight to the heart whether she swings or broods over a ballad.

Anna's rich vocals captivate audiences.   Her first CD, "It's Lush", released Nov. 23, 2002 contains 9 lovingly interpreted jazz standards and 2 original songs.
