Aniya – Down the Highway
About This Single
In the world of country music, a fresh voice has emerged from an unlikely place. Aniya, also known as Anja Martina, recently made her musical debut with the single “Down The Highway,” released on May 1st. At 3:25 minutes, the track showcases Aniya’s mature songwriting, impressive lyricism, and a voice that belies her newness to the music scene. With such a strong start, Aniya is quickly drawing attention and setting high expectations for her future in music.
Born in Austria, Aniya has always been surrounded by music. Her family’s rich musical background, including a grandmother who sang with the “Viennese Singverein and Symphony Orchestra” and an uncle who is a musician in Mexico, has deeply influenced her musical journey. Despite her scientific career as a biologist and a project manager focusing on environmental issues, Aniya has nurtured her passion for music, spending time composing original songs as often as she can.
“Down The Highway” is much more than a melody; it’s a story of a young woman’s journey to freedom, a theme that resonates universally but holds special significance for Aniya. The track features a rich mix of pedal steel, guitar, and drums, setting a powerful backdrop for her sweet yet strong vocals. The lyrics, filled with resilience and hope, convey a steadfast promise to persevere against all odds. This song showcases Aniya’s talents not just as a singer, but as a storyteller capable of touching hearts with her narrative of determination and liberation.
This debut track is a testament to Aniya’s potential to bridge the gap between her Austrian roots and the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, a dream destination for many country artists. Influenced by country legends like Chris Stapleton and The Bellamy Brothers, Aniya brings a unique blend of classical music training and a heartfelt connection to country music’s storytelling tradition.
