Ana Gracey.

Brief Biography:
Ana's father is drummer, Jon Hiseman, who, from 1969 to 1978, led three pioneering Jazz-Rock groups - Colosseum, Tempest and Colosseum II. Her mother is saxophonist , composer and bandleader Barbara Thompson, better known for her haunting Sax on the theme to A Touch of Frost and her flute on the South Bank Show theme tune. Ana has been singing, songwriting and recording since she was a little girl. At age 18, while all her friends were sending out applications for University, Ana applied for Drama School. Her first audition was for The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and to everyone's surprise and delight she got in. Although she received a fantastic training at The RADA, she left determined to pursue her music career. After a brief stint in the bars, restaurants and hotels of London singing the hits, she decided purely to perform her own music, which has been likened to anything from Joni Mitchell to Alanis Morissette! Having been picked up by major management, Ana is currently working on an album that her father is producing and which looks set to secure her a record deal.
