Anna Calvi
The London-based singer Anna Calvi, one of the most striking and promising newcomers of 2011, stands out with her unique musical taste and extravagance. Anna Calvi is inspired by the great singers Nina Simone, Maria Callas and Édith Piaf, classical composers Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, Olivier Messiaen and Igor Stravinsky, the rock icon Jimmi Hendrix and the great blues musician Robert Johnson. Calvi's stage image has also been greatly influenced by the drama and emotions of Spanish flamenco. The singer has confessed to paying a lot of attention to the visual manifestation of music; her songs fascinates and captivates like a good film; the fact that Calvi has drawn a lot of inspiration from movies by the likes of Gus van Sant and Wong Kar-wai is no secret. Anna Calvi started her musical career by studying violin as a child; Calvi was thirteen when she first held a guitar in her hands, and she has not looked back since. Anna Calvi found her own style and technique of guitar-playing; according to the musician, she does no want her Fender Stratocaster sound like a guitar - she wants it to sound like a Bechstein grand piano. In love with the 20th-century classical music, Calvi is always trying to introduce orchestral elements to her guitar-playing.
