PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
Anita has been putting pen to paper and pick to guitar since her early teens and her tunes, inspired by early legends of rock such as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, as well as more modern cutting-edge bands like The Killers and Kings of Leon, have only got edgier over time.
The London-based, Northern born artist blends rock, pop and elements of blues and soul into her music, drawing crowds to many of the gigs she has played across the capital such as the Boogaloo Bar, Wilmington Arms and The Fly. Anita's lyrics reflect her own true self -- independent, feisty and passionate. But there's also a darker side tinged with pain all achingly brought out in the dynamic live shows.
Anitas new band has taken the live shows to another level, with the solid rhythm section of Greg Hall on Drums and Roger Millington on Bass, the material has now taken on a harder, rockier edge. The other element in the mix is Matt Peyman who brings a new vibrancy and edge to the proceedings. After show feedback regarding Anita and the band's performance has been nothing short of euphoric.
Anita Maj and her band will challenge you, entertain you, rock you, move you and leave you giddy for more.
