Biografía de Anastacia

Anastacia (born September 17, 1968) or Anastasia Lyn Newkirk is an American pop, rock and soul singer-songwriter hailing from New York City, New York, U.S.

Born to a club-singing father and Broadway actress mother, Anastacia’s interest in singing and dancing began at an early age. Despite being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at age 13, Anastacia didn’t let this affect her ambitions and became a professional dancer by her teens, with appearances on MTV’s “Club MTV” and two music videos for Salt-n-Pepa including “Get Up Everybody (Get Up)” (1988) and “Twist and Shout” (1989).

She followed these appearances with vocal contributions on pop-star Tiffany’s album “New Inside” in 1990, Jamie Foxx’s debut “Peep This” and Paula Abdul’s third studio album “Head over Heel” (1995). Two years later in 2010 with the encouragement of manager Lisa Braude, Anastacia joined the MTV talent show “The Cut”. While the singer didn’t win the contest, she turned the heads of revered artists like Elton John and Michael Jackson and ended up signing with Daylight Records in March 1999.

Anastacia released her debut album “Not That Kind” internationally in 2000, which became an instant hit. The album reached the Top Ten in eight countries in Europe and Asia, selling over two million copies worldwide and produced the dance hit “I’m Outta Love”. Yet to make her U.S. debut Anastacia released “Freak of Nature” in June 2002 followed by her self-titled album in 2004 and the compilation “Pieces of a Dream: Best Of” in 2004.

Her next album “Heavy Rotation” released in 2008 which despite featuring producers Ne-Yo, The Heavyweights and Lester Mendez, failed to perform as well as its predecessors. The sound moves away from the notable pop rock towards something a little more ‘urban’, a sound direction Anastacia regrets allowing her record label pushing her in the direction of. The singer then successfully sold out 24 shows with fellow singers Chaka Khan and Lulu, who together also opened the 2009 Royal Variety Performance.

Anastacia has subsequently released “It’s a Man’s World” in 2012 a cover album of rock songs by male artists, and “Resurrection” in 2014. The latter proved to be a resurgence for the singer with another Top Ten UK album, “Resurrection”was met with both critical and commercial success.

Críticas en vivo

Known as the little lady with the big voice, it’s no surprise that Anastacia wowed audiences with her powerhouse pop vocals. Starting her music career as a backing singer for artists such as Paula Abdul and Jamie Foxx, Anastacia ventured on her own musical career path in 2000 releasing her debut album “Not That Kind” and was a huge success going multi-platinum in Europe and achieved biggest selling song of the year with “I’m Outta Love” in Australia. Creating new sound known as ‘Sprock’ she fused soul with pop and rock to achieve her unique sound.

As well as her incredible vocal capacity, she has the ability to write incredibly catchy pop songs with a funky edge like “Not That Kind” and “Paid My Dues” whilst producing endearing straight front the heart power ballads like “Welcome to My Truth” and “Heavy on my Heart”.

With six albums worth of material to delve into, you can be sure that with 2 hour sets Anastacia will take you on an emotional journey full of heart and soul and bound to play a handful of your favourites.

Having a full band on stage really allows the songs come to life as she intended them to be. Playing to sold-out arenas, the rocky band and electric guitars hype up the crowd before Anastacia graces the stage in leather clad attire, and her instantly recognisable voice fills the huge arena welcomed by waves of screams and applause.

Accompanied by a trio of gospel backing singers as she roams freely around the stage waving to the crowd as she sings “Why’d You Lie To Me”. Joined on stage by energetic backing dancers the track gets a burst of Latin infused guitars as she samba’s across the stage.

The crowd goes wild for “Sick and Tired” clapping along to the beat, waving their flags and banners. Slowing the tempo right down, Anastacia takes to a stool to belt out “Secrets” with abstract video footage behind her. With a quick costume change, her signature tinted glasses make a return as she gets down to “Not That Kind” bringing a whole lot of sass.

Saving her best hits for last “Paid My Dues” and “I’m Outta Love” has the crowd on their feet dancing and singing along as Anastacia and her dancers turn up the energy to the max.

With incredible vocals, energy and a whole host of hits, you’re bound to have a blast!
