Accomplished musician, vocalist and songwriter, ANNIKA’s ability to capture audiences comes not just from her musical charisma, but from a refreshingly authentic and comedic personality. Since 2014, she has powerfully entertained audiences around the world as the lead singer of CCMA-nominated 'Leaving Thomas' duo, and now, as a highly anticipated solo artist. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, ANNIKA has taken a new musical direction since moving on from the country-pop duo. Inspired by artists such as Elton John, Carole King and Alicia Keys, ANNIKA’s new sound combines her love of country songwriting with heartfelt piano playing and melodic vocals.
