While blossoming as a writer in country music, her own artistry has garnered recognition from Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and Billboard. She has toured with Willie Nelson, Maddie & Tae, Trousdale, and others with stops at The Grand Ole Opry and The Bluebird Cafe along the way. 

With over 15 million streams and counting, Anna set out to accomplish her biggest goal yet, the making of her debut album. A heartfelt return to her California roots, Downhill From Here is available everywhere now.
