The leading Indian pop singer of today made a blazing debut in 1995 with her hit single Hotline. In the foreground of new liberalization policies of the 1990's Bombay, Anaida's naturally mild looks and vibrant energies made her an icon for the peppy, curious and yet essentially innocent Indian teenager of the day against the more voluptuous variations available all over the music channels. She made a heyday with 'Oova Oova,' which has come to symbolize the spirit of a generation.
Since then, Anaida has moved on... experimenting with Indian folk, Arabic pop and more recently, the international progressive forms, which will most truly be represented in her forthcoming album Quest.
Anaida's breathtaking success as a music celebrity has understandably eclipsed her other talents: writing, painting and poetry. She was an outstanding painter before her music career took off and she is also a contributor to many national newspapers and magazines. Her remarkable skills for offering counseling and providing assistance to people in distress have occasionally been called upon by various forums for people in distress. |
