Anna Graceman [Singer/Musician]

Name: Anna Graceman
Age: 10
From: Alaska, USA
What she does: singer/songwriter/musician

While most 10 year olds are busy playing tag or endlessly eating Fruit-Roll-Up [what, you didn't?], Anna Graceman is busy writing songs and furthering her already keen piano skills. Most 10 year olds also haven't left over 100,000 YouTubers astounded with their advanced piano skills and surprisingly mature and incredibly soulful voice.

Her music includes a variety of themes, from a new pair of shoes to songs about her deceased pets to sorrowful heartbreaks she's yet to experience. Despite the lack of life experiences though, this girl is able to extract feelings from particular situations and deliver them in a way that is very relatable for those who actually have gone through what she's somehow managed to grasp. This can go either way; I personally feel that 10 year olds should be singing about age-appropriate things however I can't help but respect the art for what it is and applaud her for being so passionate about something, so young. Also, if her song includes themes that are beyond her experiences, she does say so...which makes it a little better; at least she isn't pretending to know, but merely giving her understanding or perspective on it.

In her videos she is seen playing piano, singing as well as playing acoustic guitar in a few. Each instrument seems natural to her, but her voice is what strikes me most. The soul that fills the room when this child opens her mouth is incredible.

All in all, she is worth checking out and looking out for. I can only imagine how far she will go in the industry- if this is her now, imagine her in a few years, let alone the next ten years!
