Anouschka's songs are played on indie stations and podcasts worldwide in numerous categories-rock, folk, blues, AC, World, and Americana. Aside from writing, arranging, producing her music, she is a proficient guitarist, and holds her own both as a solo artist and as a band leader with larger groups.
Anouschka is half Swedish and half American. Due to her father's work, her childhood was spent moving and growing up in different parts of the world such as Europe, Asia, and the United States. Upon completing her college BA in Boston, MA, U.S.A., she set off with her guitar to pay her dues and has since strummed her way through New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Sweden and Berlin, Germany.
"So Why?" is Anouschka's third release. Her full length album "My Kind of Heartbreak" (2005) placed on the AMA (Americana) Chart in the United States, and tracks were played next to major label artists such as Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan. Her earlier debut album titled "Anouschka" (1999) received airplay on college stations in Boston, USA and Radio Bandit, Sweden where she was featured as an upcoming female songwriter.
In her new release "So Why?", Anouschka steps away from the blusey Americana analog sound of her last album (My Kind of Heartbreak, released in Sweden 2005) and surprises with two mainstream pop rock tunes. "So Why?" and "One of the Finer Days". Anouschka's vocal style spans the spectrum from pretty to harsh, with inflections of Suzanne Vega to Marianne Faithful. This EP is produced by Anouschka and reknown metal producer/audio engineer Harris Johns.
Although Anoushcka writes mainstream, her inspirations come from irreverent underground scenes with punk rockers, blusers, rappers and alternative songwriters.
