BIOAnita . . . holy and jazzy . . .
is an anointed and appointed urban-gospel
recording artist with tunes that carry you to the
feet of Jesus.
A natural on the mic, this Baton Rouge, Louisiana native has invoked heart-felt applause for her transparent stage presence since the tender age of 4.
Encouragement to pursue her love for writing and singing gospel music materialized as an overflow of the love she
receives from Jesus Christ and her gratitude for His sacrifice for her on the cross.
Before she took up singing gospel professionally, Anita was a recovering abuse victim. "I think all my painful experiences and the healing I received as a result of my
relationship with Jesus Christ had a great influence on my singing. I've tried to approach singing from the mindset of an over-comer. The part of a song that stirs the soul is found in the words and the melodies behind the words and the melodies."
Anita's music is a beautiful representation of who she is as a daughter of God. With jazz and deeper bass strokes, she mellows out lyrics that save the sin-sick and soothe the saint. Anita's days before devotion to Christ witnessed her talents featured in hip-hop joints, R&B clubs, and jazz clubs with nationally renowned artists such as Don Diego. You'll now find her at various churches and public events joyfully and relentlessly spreading the Gospel in word, in song, and indeed.
Track #3, "Bless You Father" was recently voted number one urban contemporary gospel song in the 2005 Gospel Music Writer Awards.
The release date of her debut album, "Anita: This Is My Story" was May 7, 2005 and is available internationally at her official website (http://www.anitajrobertson.com), http://www.Amazon.com/, http://www.CDBaby.com/, http://www.cdnow.com/, http://www.mp3tunes.com/, http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/, http://www.listen.com/, http://www.napster.com/, selected music stores (including Barnes and Nobles, Lighthouse Outlet, Bowie's Record Shop, Music Treasure Chest, The Compact Disc Store, Hosea's Bible and Robe Center, etc.) and at all live performances.
Be on the look out for her upcoming worship release, "Love Note".
