biography
Ann Lee landed in Italy in the early 90s on holiday, ran into talent scouts of Italian dance music labels, and ended up staying and building her life and career there. She started doing Eurobeat stuff on the Japanese music market (with her first concert in Japan in front of 60,000 people). Simultaneously she was able to work with Stefano Cundari, Gianni Coraini (aka Ken Laszlo) and Theo Spagna.
In 1993 Annerley co-wrote The Rhythm Of The Night by Corona which became a massive hit and recently sampled by Black Eyed Peas in Ritmo. Thanks to her contribution to Ritmo, in 2021 Annerley received two ASCAP awards (the ASCAP pop music award and the ASCAP
latino award, as the track was one of the most performed ASCAP songs of 2020) and got a nomination at SIAE Music Awards 2023 (as Ritmo was one the most-performed Italian songs abroad).
In 1993 she also started working for Mauro Farina from S.A.I.F.A.M. and she has begun her collaboration with Larry Pignagnoli at Off Limits.
In 1998 Ann Lee debuted with the unforgettable song 2 Times one of the most extraordinarily tracks to come out of the international dance
scene in a long while. 2 Times went to #1 in Denmark, #2 in UK and Belgium, Top 10 in France, Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand,
Italy, Holland, Norway and East Europe, collecting many Gold and Platinum discs. The second single Voices reached TOP 10 positions
in Spain, Denmark and Czech Republic. It was released in the UK in February 2000 and went straight into the Top 30. The third single, an
irresistible cover version of RING MY BELL, came out in Europe, while 2 Times began exploding in Canada.
In 2005 Annerley took a well-earned break to take care of her son, and then spent time as a fulltime mum. In recent years she has been on the road again touring as Ann Lee in Italy, Spain, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, Brasil, Uk, Ireland and in schools teaching English, as well as being back in the studio.
