Annie Moscow: Bio
Annie Moscow
Contemporary poet/singer/songwriter
Whimsical. Daring. Funny. Poignant and Powerful.
Annie Moscow is a modern day storyteller who brings a fresh perspective to subject matter not often sung about. With an explosive piano style and the voice of an angel, her very visual songs take you right into the picture.
Originally from New York, then Philadelphia, Los Angeles and currently, Arizona, she began her music career as a classical pianist, and then as a songwriter, writing for film, television and other recording artists, including SARAH VAUGHN, SISTER SLEDGE and MICKEY MOUSE.
In 1992, she wrote the lyrics to Kathy Sledge's hit single, "All of My Love". In 2007, she was a co-writer on Disney's top selling audio Halloween card "They Don't Scare Me".
In 2001, Annie Moscow stepped out as a solo artist with the release of her first CD, "Wolves at My Door" about the midlife shattering of illusions. The WASHINGTON POST wrote: "Annie Moscow is breaking all of the rules."
Now with two CDs and five years of regional touring under her belt, this summer she's performing in her first one-woman show of all original music, stories and poetry: "The Philosophical Musings of a Suburban Dwelling Free Spirit Ex-Hippi Wannabe with Longings for Connection and Security", at the Herberger Theater in Phoenix, Arizona.
