Biography

BIO

Anita . . . 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 on her "This Is My Story" project entitled "Bless You Father" was voted number one urban contemporary gospel song in the 2005 Gospel Music Writer Awards and is currently being reviewed by The Word Network for video airplay.

Track #7 on the "This Is My Story" project enititled "Lowly Jesus" was voted number one traditional gospel song in the 2006 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) and at most major stores via catalog order.
