With a voice critically acclaimed as one of the best of her type internationally, it's no wonder that Annie Frances has graced stages from her hometown Sydney, Australia to New York City and around the world. Annie's love of music and natural versatility has led to her being an award winning and much sought after entertainer on stage and Australian television. Music has always been a part of Annie's life since childhood. In her early years she attended The Voice Productions Music Theatre and Performance Seminar, where she was hand picked out of a hundred hopefuls to train exclusively with Australia's maestro and music icon Tommy Tycho. Despite this, music only remained a small part of Annie's life until 2000 when she boldly left behind a career with one of Australia's largest companies to become a professional international entertainer. Since then she has not looked back. For the first six months of her singing career, Annie sang in local venues in Sydney as a front woman in a high-energy dance band. Then, she entered the City of Sydney's Cabaret Convention competition (featuring their international guest judge that year, Julie Wilson from New York) simply for the exposure and to hopefully find more work as a singer. To her surprise she walked away with this competition's coveted first prize, the City of Sydney award - a trip to New York to attend and perform at the 11th Annual New York Cabaret Convention. Her first international performance with Julie Wilson's musical director David Lewis was well received, and thus began Annie's international performance career. Upon returning from New York Annie quickly developed her one- woman show which within another 6 months earned her 2 Mo' Awards (Australia's equivalent to America's Tony Awards), one of them being the evening's major award, The Peter Allen Performer of the Year. Since then Annie has worked solidly as a guest entertainer in venues around Australia, New York, international cruise lines and has made several appearances on Australian Television. Today her repertoire features styles such as popular favourites, Broadway Musicals, multilingual classics, a little country and even Swiss yodeling! This diversity truly shows off Annie's unique ability and show stopping voice.
