Following her heart, Amelie moved all the way from Austria (Europe) to San Francisco. Here, she has built a fulfilling career around her first love - music. “For me, the purpose of making music with and for others is to connect with the people around me. My goal as a musician is to reaffirm our shared humanity and bring it all back to the communal aspect of music,” says Amelie. She creates inviting and energetic experiences with her exciting stage presence as multi-instrumentalist, singing and playing simultaneously.
Another lifelong passion is bringing the audio landscape of video games and movies to life with Amelie’s multifaceted and malleable voice. As a little girl, Amelie would secretly play video games at night with the audio on mute, imagining the soundtracks and then listen to the games’ scores during the day. She is proud to have contributed to the soundtracks of Sony Playstation titles such as the forthcoming “Death Stranding 2” and “Concrete Genie”. Amelie has also composed and recorded for film projects such as Mike Doyle’s “Passing Through”.
Combining her expertise and experience in education with her work as a professional musician, Amelie empowers and supports developing female and femme-identifying artists as Assistant Director of the Roots, Jazz and American Music Program (RJAM) at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM). Amelie earned her Master’s Degree in English, Psychology, Philosophy and Pedagogy from the University of Vienna and her Bachelor’s in Jazz Drums Performance at SFCM.
Amelie Anna is thrilled to have collaborated with artists such as Jonathan Blake, Luther Allison, David Flores, Martin Luther McCoy, Keith Saunders, Eric Jekabson, John Wiitala, Frank Martin, George Brooks, Anne Sajdera, Akira Tana and Tongo Eisen-Martin.
Some of her favorite artists to listen to and work with are Mia Pixley, Daria Novoliantceva and Brian Hinman.
