Conversations with Anaya (anayamusic) Kunst

Today we’d like to introduce you to Anaya (anayamusic) Kunst

Hi Anaya (AnayaMusic), can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Since I was a child I turned to studies and research of the universe and the immortality of the soul. Over the years and with the death of my beloved husband, this intensified. My religiosity comes from a young age when I helped at Mass Services and walked around with a Bible under my arm! As a result of that I was given the nickname “Jesus.“

However, my understanding of the immortality aspect of the soul became deeper and deeper. When I was at the Midem Festival in Cannes I started filming my colleagues and one of them asked why I was doing that and I said: “I am training to be a director.” I am the niece of the famous maestro Meneleu Campos, my relationship with music began at age eight and with my mother singing to me sleeping songs. A multi-instrumentalist and vocalist from the start, my musical studies began with piano and guitar at the Carlos Gomes Conservatory of Music in Pará and vocal performance at the Musimed school in Brasilia.

I also studied piano under maestro Waldemar Henriques and music theory and harmony under Wilma Graca while working with various guitar teachers. I immersed myself into vocal studies by exploring the music of diverse composers such as Puccini, Bizet, Haendel, Donizete, Mozart, Gershwin, Saint-Saëns, Villa Lobos, Verdi and many others. As a young opera singer, I was closely supervised by maestro Hermelino Castelo Branco, in addition to working with several other teachers. I participated in many festivals, performed with Gonzaguinha and Ivan Lins, and is still influenced by Tom Jobim and Schubert to this day. I am artist in New Age, Instrumental, Electronic and music vídeos category, a multi-Award-Winning-talented professional with a Post Doctorate degree in leadership (USA) and a PhD in Information Technologies (England). And I worked with Healing therapies and musical therapy for long time.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
We need to overcome hardship and go into other galaxy gates to choose the Path of evolution. But for me still remains the meaning of Existence by itself. I still have questions that are understandable only by the eyes of perception and feelings, not by the mind or intellect.
Transformation through the vibration of Music gives the harmony for the emotional movement of the movie and brings the audience the inner encounter of the Self.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My musical journey began on guitar and piano, which led to many years of dedication to studying,composing and producing her own albums.(1)

My thoughts:

“Creating a Music video is a blessing that helps to disseminate what I do. I feel very honored and truly grateful to all film fest organizers, the jury and my fans that receive my work with immense love. And it is an accomplishment also that gives me a great feedback on my art. By now there are more than 650 awards in more than 39 countries in all continents, and with my music I am in 77 countries. I can say that I am now in all continents around the world. AnayaMusic is currently playing also  in the Healing Health Care system in more than 1000 hospitals in the US and abroad; there are approximately 80 artists in this system.” ~ says Anaya
