Ana Porter

Born in France and currently based in Chicago, Ana has made a name for herself with her rare combination of blunt honesty and emotional depth, both onstage and off. The CD, Hunger, is a natural extension of her passionate yet gentle personality. Her vocals are natural, silky, and unadorned. The songs are rich with wandering pop melodies and multi-layered stories that will carry you on a voyage of loss and hope, memory and love.

Ana's songwriting received a glowing review in Billboard and her title track, "Hunger," is a winner of the 2002 international Songs Inspired By Literature songwriting competition. "Hunger" is now part of a compilation CD that also includes songs by Tom Waits, David Bowie, Rosanne Cash, and Vicki Randle.

After college, Ana studied songwriting for several years with the master songwriter Bonnie Hayes (famous for the Bonnie Raitt hits "Have a Heart" and "Love Letter") while writing and performing with her band in San Francisco. In this crucible of the SF music scene, Ana learned how make a spiritual practice of songwriting, digging deep to find that perfect hybrid of hard work and inspiration.
