Description
Wearing, (and very well) many hats is Anita's, aka, Asbury Park Angel's skill. She is a dynamic and versatile Songwriter/Performer,
inspirational speaker, life coach, impassioned health advocate,
fashion maven, Jazz Diva, Rock n Roll Queen, artist/photographer,
blogger and minister. She is also a a consummate professional, giving her very best to every person and in every situation.
Life's curve balls have resulted in amazing opportunities, rather than setbacks, challenging her to take her people-artistry experience to the next level!
Music is her tool to celebrate, empathize and enlighten/inspire. God
rewards her with a myriad of places to share her gift, from Manhattan
to Pennsylvania. She straddles many genres, performing top 40,
classic rock, R&B, jazz and folk/acoustic situations, from quaint
cafes, restaurants, pubs to jazz/blues festivals.
Also an independent recording artist, she has performed solo and
with a band at family festivals, church coffeehouses, maximum security prisons, and the past two years, at rehabilitation facilities for the disabled. This surprising new avenue opened because of her victorious Dystonia and Lyme Disease battle leading to her becoming a preventative health advocate. She's been around the block!
Her boundless energy, creativity and infectious positivity has made
every client's events memorable and professional. Anita delights in honoring requests for benefits for domestic violence victims, neglected and abused kids, the elderly and/or wheelchair people as well as our courageous veterans. She never wants to miss out on an opportunity to uplift and encourage someone to victor over a difficult circumstance and is always willing to negotiate her prices.
Her equipment includes two full PA systems, Mackie 12 channel mixing board, power speakers, and a smaller Community PA set-up. She performs an unplugged acoustic set-up or with her instrumental tracks that sound like a full band. She's also available as a duo.
If you are looking for a unique and lovely performer for your event, look no further. Listen to her wonderful sounds, read her inspiring bio/blogs and view her lovely photographs! Your events will truly be stellar and memorable.

Feedback
- Anita is a outstanding artist. She was truly a huge assest to our event that we now be a annual event for the community at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Brant Beach NJ. -- John H, Brant Beach, NJ, 1/22/2011
- Great Perfomer and very nice person. She has an incredible voice and presence. Our surprise party was a huge sucess, and the music made the evening. Every single guest wanted her business card at the end of the night. Setting the party up and working thru any aspect with Anita was seemless. She really is a professional and enjoys what she does . I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for the memories ! -- Joseph D, Matawan, NJ, 8/14/2010
- We all absolutely loved Anita's performance. We had a crowd ages ranging from a one year old, all the way to a 93 year old... they all loved her style, her beautiful voice, her wonderful personality, her music, and especially herself! SHE WAS FANTASTIC! We couldn't have asked for more. My daughter (being it was her 10th Birthday) thought she was awesome... She's truly an ANGEL and we rate her a FIVE STAR CELEBRITY. Thank you so much for introducing her to our lives...God speed and be well...
Thank you again,
Joseph, Kathy, and Samantha Rose(Birthday Girl) -- Joseph J, Linden, NJ, 8/7/2010

- Anita is a very talented sweet spiritual woman. Her love for people.. especially children and the Lord shines through in her performance. She and her husband were very accommodating with special requests. We received many compliments on our choice of entertainment for our daughter's Christening. I would recommend them to a friend. She is a perfect fit for a Christening, wedding, shower, Birthday.. just about any celebration.
Thank You Anita.. oh and they even took some extra pictures for us. Always a nice toch. Thank You!!! -- Lee Erica K, Sparta, NJ, 5/23/2010
- Anita is both a lovely person and a very talented singer and guitar player. We were very satisfied with her performance. She has the voice of an angel and I don't know how she wasn't booked with another gig considering how late I booked her for our daughter's Confirmation party. Anita is a very spiritaual person and she had some lovely words and blessings to share with our guests on this special occasion in our daughter's life. Anita is a wonderful talent and we highly recommend her. -- Patty C, Manalapan, NJ, 6/13/2009
- She arrived on time and everyone enjoyed her performance -- Steven P, Avon, NJ, 8/7/2011
