October 2, 2022I booked Anakai Music for a small private birthday gathering -- and she was excellent. Awesome voice, worked with me beforehand to ensure my needs would be met and delivered above expectation. She tailored her song list to my desires. I would absolutely hire Anakai again.

October 26, 2019Just had the pleasure and privilege of attending an Anakai booking. If you love Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn, you're in for a rare treat. This is a truly gifted musician with a wide repertoire . She and her keyboard accompaniest work beautifully together and will be a hit at your event.

They can’t take that away from me
When I fall in love
Someone to watch over me
I’ve got a crush on you
Fly me to the moon
The way you look tonight
My funny valentine
It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing
I’ll be seeing you
All of me
Dream a little dream of me
At last
Cheek to cheek
