Poison - Anna Goldsmith

Classically trained from a very early age, Anna made her first stage performance when she was just 5 years old. She has the superb control and vocal quality that you would expect after years of continuous vocal coaching and has enjoyed success in many classical competitions.

But in recent years, everything has changed for Anna: she has shifted from a background of entertaining Royalty with opera style precision, to using all of that talent - and more - to bring her own, very contemporary songs to an eager audience.

Since she started gigging her own material, she's been reaching out to a rapidly growing fanbase with a live performance that comes straight from the heart.

Touching on influences ranging from classical artists like Sumi Jo, to contemporary musicians Sarah McLachlan, Massive Attack and Zero 7, she puts her hard earned keyboard skills to use and blends a stunning vocal range with a sensitivity and warmth that grabs the coldest heart.

Her talent was rewarded with the prestigious Air Malta Award at the 2006 Malta International Song Festival and by her gaining the support slot for Triskel Promotions' sold out Katie Melua gig

She worked with Dave Armstrong (producer credits include "Roll Away" Back Door Slam) and Rob Cross (co-writer), on a debut album that is something very different from the latest batch of Girls With Guitars - it's a record packed with immediate but lingering songs, brought to life by a skill for creative lyricism and subtle references to her stunning operatic abilities.

Anna is now also gigging the new material with a full band, which adds a depth and variety to her sound and gives her the opportunity to really soar in live performance.

At the end of 2008 she opened for Bee Gee Robin Gibb in concert as well as getting the opportunity to record a cover of ""Night Fever".

Anna continues to gig regularly and has recently completed recording the theme song "Here Tomorrow" for upcoming film "Love Like Hers" by UK Indie film maker Danny Lacey
