Originating from Salford, Manchester, Anita Ryan is undoubtedly one of the North West 19s hidden musical gems.

Anita recalls, 1CAt seven years old, I 19d stare up at my Mum and Dad on stage and just knew I would follow in their footsteps 1D. And that she did..! At only 16 Anita was part of a 40 piece choir that took her across Europe on a sell out tour, and only a year later Anita made the move to become a solo artist. Her talents didn 19t go unrecognised as Anita received private vocal tuition from the Manchester School of Music. Anita 19s reputation quickly grew and she soon set off on her first tour as a solo artist, supporting the American soul singer Edwin Starr. On her earliest tour Anita says 1Csupporting a US soul star gave me the much needed experience of working with a live audience. I found out early on that I could capture their emotions and keep them in the palm of my hand 1D. Anita 19s musical talent was undeniable and this led to her fronting bands from all over the world.
