Anne was born in Massachusettes into a musical family. Her father Frank was a baritone/tenor who sang in many productions for local light opera companies. Early on, Anne’s parents knew they had a singer on their hands. After taking her to see a local production of “Oklahoma” she continued to sing the melodies from the score all the way home. Anne humorously recalls, “At age seven, I wanted to be Shirley Jones.” Her passion for singing led her to pursue a degree in voice and music therapy at Anna Maria College before venturing to California to chase a performance career. While utilizing her degree in music therapy by day, she honed her singing skills at open mic nights, eventually finding her voice in jazz after enrolling at Orange Coast College.
Her breakthrough came when she landed her first jazz gig, introducing her to the world of Brazilian music and unlocking newfound vocal freedom. Seeking further education, Anne pursued a Master's degree in music at Cal State Long Beach, where she delved into classical voice training. Embracing her diverse vocal training, Anne transitioned from opera to musical theater, securing lead roles in various productions.
With her wealth of vocal knowledge, Anne began teaching voice and joined the faculty at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles. Alongside her teaching career, Anne embarked on a successful music journey, touring nationally and internationally with her husband and collaborator, Tom Zink. Their albums, including "Pretty World" and "Go," garnered critical acclaim and Grammy nominations, showcasing Anne's versatility in contemporary and Brazilian jazz.
Anne's dedication to music extends beyond performance, as she has also recorded concept albums of lullabies and sacred music. Her musical journey continues to evolve, with Anne maintaining a busy schedule of performances, teaching, and recording, leaving a lasting impact on the world of music.
