About Anna Nyakana

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I used to sing on the street corners in Berlin, Germany beginning at 3 years old. Leaving my utopian birthplace to immigrate to the matrix of the U.S. didn't rob me of my fire to express my internal Light - of sharing my voice with the World. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alicia Keys, Songs In A Minor Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Nas, Illmatic I grew up in the 90's-era of conscious hip-hop and R&B - my Sony walkman never left my side - even with one missing foam ear pad. I stayed tapped-in daily to the awakened-storytelling of Nas and the soul-crooning illuminations of Lauryn and Alicia. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Just a Day” This was the #1 single off my self-titled debut album, which I shopped simultaneously as my demo. I released this project independently at a time where indie-artists were seen as a fad in the industry but my artistry has always been for the People.
