An-Ya Bio

An-Ya posted a video clip on her MySpace offering an autobiography and introducing her assistant, producer, label boss Joe Simpson, friends and choreographers. The Russian pop singer, signed to Papa Joe Records, said she’s been preparing for the release of her debut album her whole life.

“When I came to Los Angeles, I met Joe Simpson,” An-Ya explained. “I was really, really nervous. I was shaking. I only saw him on TV in Russia in that reality show about Jessica on MTV. Joe Simpson helped me a lot, introducing me to great producers that I have been working with. I don’t have any family here. Just my supportive crew. That is my family.”

The brief clip at MySpace has since been removed.
