Annie Bany's motivation for storytelling comes from the tall tales of the theatrical stage. As a child, Annie would write stories and then embody the imaginary lives she created, amusing and bemusing those around her. She dreamed of being an actress on Broadway until she stumbled upon her love for songwriting after receiving her first guitar.

Annie has always been a performer, and her love for music runs deep. She has morphed from an imaginative child to a passionate and creative young woman who has written or co-written every song on her debut album, Barefoot & Young. Infused with a Pacific Northwest flair, Annie's Alternative Pop-Country album is a brand new twist on the diverse singer-songwriter genre.
