Are you ready to discover the essence of a legend?
1. Welcome, Annita. You are an artist with an impressive career. If you had to describe your journey in one sentence, what would it be?
I’d say it has been a symphony of unique and memorable moments on every stage. Every show has been a lesson, every set a new chapter in this adventure.
2. Your debut at Rock in Rio Madrid 2011 was a huge milestone. How do you remember that moment?
Undoubtedly, it was one of the most magical and emotional days of my life. I felt the nerves, the adrenaline, and the deep connection with the audience vibing with my music. But the most unexpected part was meeting Flea, the bassist of Red Hot Chili Peppers, backstage. He mistook me for Pamela Anderson, which sparked a wave of curiosity that ended with an invitation to go on stage with them. We later shared a dinner in their dressing room, with Anthony Kiedis playing Spanish guitar. It was a surreal moment.
3. Besides music, you’ve triumphed in television and film. You’ve worked on iconic shows like La Noria, ¿Dónde Estás Corazón?, and Despierta América. What attracted you to the audiovisual world?
The curious thing is I never sought it out; it all came spontaneously. I went to an audition for Globomedia, and although I wasn’t selected, they called me to play Pamela Anderson in Sé lo que hicisteis, where we did comedic parodies. From there, international stunt double agencies discovered me. It was an unexpected but exciting turn.
4. You’ve won awards like The Reel Awards in Las Vegas and now the 2025 Europe Award. What do these recognitions mean to you?
It’s deeply emotional. There are many doubles, but very few are officially recognized. Receiving awards like ‘Best Actress’, ‘Newshound’, or ‘Rising Star’ is indescribable. When you go up on that stage, you feel that all the effort has been worth it. The tears flow naturally.
5. How did you get started in the world of music?
My journey began at the INTED school in Madrid, specialized in DJs and music production. There, under the guidance of José Ignacio Simón and master Cristian Varela, I trained until I debuted with them at Rock in Rio. It was a dream come true.
6. Who are your musical influences?
Cristian Varela, Carl Cox, and Deborah de Luca. Each one, in their own style, has left a mark on my sonic and stage evolution.
7. You’ve worked with great artists. What has been your most significant experience and who would you like to collaborate with again?
I’ve had unforgettable experiences with artists like Soraya Arnelas, Pignoise, Lyz (daughter of Juan Pardo), and Antonio Orozco, especially at Spanish National Team parties. Also unique moments with DJ Adoni in Salem (Boston), and with Medina Azahara in an abandoned church in Ávila. These are memories I deeply treasure.
8. You are very charitable. What projects have you done or plan to do in this area?
I try to collaborate whenever I can. I’ve participated in charity matches for causes like Alzheimer’s, cancer, Down syndrome. I’ve also delivered toys to children in hospices for Three Kings’ Day, and supported campaigns against gender violence and for blood donation to hospitals. Music can also save lives.
9. As a music producer, what future projects are you working on?
I’ll soon announce something big. Meanwhile, I’m producing a techno-flamenco project with my partner Susana Villegas and the Argentine dancer Rumano Lucaz Molina, with a tour planned in Romania and Japan. We’ll also shoot a video clip of an electronic saeta at Vlad Tepes’ castle in Transylvania. Additionally, the track ALARM SOUND, produced with High Density and Susana, will be released in April under the Symbiotic Movements label after a successful preview at Reset Club Zaragoza.
10. Finally, if you had to choose one song that represents your life right now, what would it be?
Around the World by Red Hot Chili Peppers. It perfectly sums up my global, emotional, and artistic journey. Every place, every audience, every rhythm has been part of my life map.
