Anndria was born to be a composer. At the age of 11 she was in a queen contest where she played Fur Elise by Beethoven on the piano, completely memorized, and won the queen title. In middle school she also played both the trumpet and piano at school gatherings. Beginning in 1970 she started thinking of original compositions in her head and letting them out on the piano over time. She continued to do this throughout High School and often played piano for graduations.
