Anna Christine Nalick (born March 30, 1985, in Glendora, California), is an American singer-songwriter. Her debut album, Wreck of the Day, featuring her first radio hit, "Breathe (2 AM)," was released on April 19, 2005. Nalick left her label under Sony in 2009 after a falling out surrounding the release of her long-anticipated second album. Nalick is currently independently recording another record with producer Nathan Chapman, expected for release in 2011.

Biography

According to Nalick's official biography, posted at her Facebook profile, she started rewriting the lyrics to popular songs and adding her own melody to them when she was in the fifth grade. In particular, a key memory of her childhood is the fifth grade math class where she would stop paying attention and instead rewrite the lyrics to a Cranberries song. She grew up in a family where two of the grandparents had performed on Broadway, and where her parents exposed her to a number of different artists, including Elvis Presley and Led Zeppelin. Nalick also considers Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, U2, and Fiona Apple to be some of her early influences and inspirations.

Currently Nalick names many other influences and inspirations on her Facebook profile, including the Beatles, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, Foo Fighters, the Killers, the Velvet Underground, Oasis, Radiohead, the Cure, Aimee Mann, and John Lennon.

In a September 2006 Q magazine interview, Britney Spears said she wished she had written Nalick's "Breathe (2 AM)". Two months later, Nalick took honors as "AC Female Artist of the Year" at the New Music Awards, beating out Sheryl Crow. According to her official website, Nalick was so convinced that Crow would win the award that she kicked back and relaxed, removing her shoes. When her name was called, she ran to the stage shoeless to make sure that she was able to have enough time for her acceptance speech.

A clip from the single, "Satellite" from Wreck of the Day is often played on the Satellite Sisters radio show. Wreck of the Day was also featured during of the television show Joan of Arcadia.

On July 12, 2008, it was reported that Broken Doll was to be the title of Nalick's second album. The album was originally scheduled for release in the summer of 2008; however, a falling out with Epic Records resulted in the album being scrapped. Little was heard from Nalick until the summer of 2010.

In August 2010, Nalick made a comeback announcement on her Facebook profile, accompanied by new photographs revealing a bold new look; it was revealed that she had left Sony in 2009 to be a free agent. Jeremy Cowart is Nalick's photographer, and released a preview of the photoshoot for her new album on September 24, 2010 on his Tumblr site. Nalick held five live performances - Hotel Café in Hollywood, California, for August 31, September 21, September 28, and October 5, 2010, and 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville, Tennessee, for September 9, 2010 - to accompany the comeback announcement.
