Anna Vaus is a singer/songwriter born and raised in the sun-soaked canyons of Southern California. From a young age, she was drawn to the female voices of Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and Taylor Swift. Though her heart still beats to the hum of the California breeze, Anna found a home in Nashville, Tennessee by way of Belmont University - where she became the first recipient of the Miranda Lambert Women Creators Fund and signed a publishing deal with Black River Entertainment at the end of her junior year.
Since graduating in 2018, Anna released and co-produced two EPs with GRAMMY winning producer Luke Laird, found a new publishing home with Big Machine Music, and toured alongside acts like Willie Nelson, Girl Named Tom, Trousdale, and more with stops at The Grand Ole Opry and The Bluebird Cafe along the way. When COVID hit, Anna dreamed up the ‘Girl in a Backyard Tour’, a sixty date tour that stopped in fans’ backyards across the United States.
As both an artist and a songwriter, Anna’s voice can’t help but shine. Anna has had songs recorded by Keith Urban, Maddie & Tae, Carly Pearce, and more. While blossoming as a writer in country music, her own artistry has garnered well-deserved recognition from respected outlets like Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and Billboard. Her cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” was recognized by national radio show host Bobby Bones, who after hearing the song, invited Anna to join him for his Comedically Inspirational tour stop in Nashville.
With over 11 million streams and counting, Anna continues to release music. She is currently in the studio with her producer and guitarist, Kevin Monahan, recording her next project - a return to her California roots.
