Ana Winter has spent years in hiding – as a singer-songwriter, touring the folk circuit as a ‘girl-with-guitar’, in Toronto and across Canada. Her spiritual side was always kept very separate and private from the music. This got tedious. There were so many songs about the elements, mysticism and the spirit, that never quite fit into a rock or folk model. This got frustrating. Vocally, Ana never quite fit in – not quite the folksy voice; not quite the rock voice; and not quite the pop voice, her theatrical and classical training always emerged strong.
Ana became the changeling – very slowly, morphing into herself – pulling elements of her that were disjointed – writing (air), passion (fire), music (water), business (earth) and spirit (akasha) – emerging as a whole being in 2009.
Ana launched "Within The Mystic" in the U.S. in May 2010, outside of Memphis Tennessee at the 31st Annual May Day celebration put on by the Southern Delta Church of Wicca, and will be having her Canadian launch at the Spirit of the Earth Festival in London, Ontario in July 2010.
