While most kids are concerning themselves with games consoles at the age of 12, Anna Leddra-Chapman picked up one of her dads acoustic guitars for the first time, sat down and began to write her first song. Since that day the young singer songwriter has never looked back…..realising she had a serious knack of capturing her thought provoking emotions in her lyrics, Anna continued to write songs when the mood took her until she had enough quality songs together to get herself into local venues and play them live.
   
With a quintessentially English voice which is both pure and unique, it wasn’t long before she was being asked to play venues all over the country. After a frustrating period of being too young for most of the venues she really wanted to play, she finally hit the ripe old age of 15 and began playing bigger local shows the odd London acoustic venue when her parents were available to accompany her. At the same time Anna spent as much time as possible teaching herself piano and keyboards as well as learning to produce demo’s of her songs in a small home-studio her dad built in a room at the back of the families garage. Those early home demos became the songs that started to create more and more interest from key people in the music industry and soon people started to hear them Anna was invited to play Britain’s premier new music showcase –Manchester’s ‘In The City’ Music Conference. Anna played a storming 30 minute set to a packed out crowd at the Warchild Acoustic Showcase and was subsequently chosen as a ‘Best of ITC’ in Music Week magazine who described her as ‘filling a similar space to early Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell’.

With soulful and honest lyrics that come straight from the heart, Anna Leddra-Chapman is truly one of the most gifted young songwriters and vocalists in Britain today. Now aged 18…..Anna is currently working with a multitude of internationally renowned producers and co-writers on new material for her forthcoming album and will be playing shows and festivals across the UK and Europe throughout the Summer.
