20 Questions: Anna Cyzon

A consummate singer of defining prowess in a hip-hop rock pop crossover era, Anna Cyzon‘s music is a hybrid of wrist spraining guitar driven, power-pop and witty lyrical ditties. Her stratospheric journey began many moons ago leading her to Canadian Idol then segued into MTV as an on air personality for half a decade. There she got to see the inner workings of the media machine, developing the savvy for television, interviewing anyone from Shania Twain to 50 cent. Her music covers many genres. The restless punk pop driven “Young Boy” to the hip hop head nodder “Reputation” – a testament to her bandwidth as an artist. The ecstatic sonic no nonsense approach of her music is a sign post of someone destined for mythical status.
