Artist History An eleven-song creation, "deeper" is album #3 for Annette. Its release in 1999 follows on the heels of the charitable work Annette is doing on behalf of The Possible Dream Foundation, Inc., a non-profit non-sectarian organization dedicated to the care and education of children and adults with Down syndrome and related medical challenges. Annette is an Italian immigrant and comes from a large musical family of seven. She has early childhood memories of her father playing the mandolin and accordion. Several of her siblings are musicians. Annette's musical history includes singing in choirs, madrigal groups and a cappella. At age 16, she toured with The Kids from Wisconsin ensemble. Annette worked her way through college singing in various music groups. She was lead vocalist for a jazz/pop band, touring the Midwest, and has performed numerous times in theatre groups and musicals. Annette's career as a recording artist took hold in 1993, with the debut album "A Love Like Ours". With a second album completed in 1995, "All The Way To Crazy" and a total of nine singles released, Annette's music continues to evolve into a beautiful, inspirational sound. Annette returns to the studio this summer, July 2002, for album four. She is very excited about this project because of her exclusive and strong artistic connection with songwriter and arranger Michael Kowal. The creative plan for album #4 can be summed up with Annette's own words: "We're all connected to each other and the universe. Music is one of our most powerful connections." Album #4 should prove to be a powerful connection indeed!
