The Swedish singer/songwriter Annis has recently finished her debut-album. She has financed the album herself & the release is set for January 21th 2009. Her music career started in 1994 when she moved to Malung in Dalarna to study. As a little girl she used to play the piano & violin but for some strange reason she quit.

Like Forrest Gump, Annis responded - Well, I can do that. And even though she never listened to country music before, she found herself booked at a country festival. Someone told her about a great artist called Emmylou Harris & Annis bought some of Emmylou's records. That was the beginning of a lifelong inspiration.

In the fall of 2004 she met Bert Karlsson, the founder of Mariann, a Swedish record company. That meeting resulted in the release of the single "One Suitcase" in May 2005. It was frequently played on Swedish national radio station P4 & P5.It hit 1 at the "Pop
