Anastacia

Anastacia sings with the kind of voice that cuts through a track straight away. The Chicago-born artist built her career on a blend of soul, pop, and rock so distinctive that she gave it its own name: “Sprock”.^1,2

With more than 30 million records sold worldwide, her music is known for huge choruses, straight-talking emotion, and a voice with real grit.^1,2 Even when the production gets big, the songs still sound unmistakably like her.^1,2

Anastacia Lyn Newkirk was born in Chicago on 17 September 1968 into a show business family, with a Broadway actress mother and a singer father.² She moved to New York as a child, and her early route into entertainment included dance work before music took over.²

Her breakthrough came after appearing on The Cut, an MTV talent show that brought her to a much wider audience.^1,2 That led to her debut album, Not That Kind, in 2000, and the first songs that put her name on the map.^1,2 Her early success came through a voice that sounded heavier, rougher, and more soulful than much of the pop around her at the time.^1,2
