Bio

Ana Phoenixx's musical seed first cut the soil at 3 years old when she was playing in her father's home studio, and he discovered her singing ability. She began singing in local showcases and sharpened her performance skills by dancing at Virginia's "Harrison Opera House" with a local dance camp. This, eventually, led her to win the national "Disney Superstar Kids" singing competition at the age of 10 years old, resulting in her being flown from Virginia to California to record a solo version of Clay Aiken's "Invisible" featured on the "Radio Disney Chart Toppers" CD. In the following years, she gained experience in studio vocal arrangement and songwriting by working many hours at "Marty's Digital Mastering and Recording Studio" in Virginia Beach, VA. At age 15, she released "Just a Girl" featuring global recording artist "Gucci Mane." She then formed a close alliance with No Malice of the renowned Hip Hop duo "The Clipse" and worked with him on several projects, including vocals and arrangements on his song "I'm Different" and accompanying him in live performances such as "SXSW" and Virginia's "ShaggFest." A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Ana began training herself on the instruments at her father's home studio in early childhood. She is skilled in the lead guitar, bass, piano, drums, pixie harp, and more. As she developed her path, she began concentrating on a love for music composition and production. She honed her skills in building unique imagery through lyrics and conceptual storytelling. She views each piece of work as a uniquely colorful landscape. These ideas led to her coining the term "Highly Dimensional Music" or "HD music" to describe the range of her expression. Her intention is to highlight distinct sonic textures with high depth, definition, and intricate layers. Her company "Artaraxia Productions" is the home of this sound. In 2016, Ana spent a season coaching teens in recording studio etiquette and vocals in a recording studio at "Bethany College" in Wichita, Kansas. This ignited a love for community and a greater desire to help others customize their artistry. Customization is the DNA and emphasis of Ana's flowering vision for Artaraxia Productions.
