Stevie Ann

Stevie Ann (born as Anna Stéphanie Struijk) is a singer-songwriter from the Netherlands (Limburg). She began making music at a young age. From the moment she picked up the guitar, she started writing her own lyrics. Her influences include artists such as Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette. Stevie Ann's debut album Away From Here was launched in the summer of 2005 and contains twelve self-written songs. Her two singles ‘The poetry man’ and ‘One year of love’ reached the higher ranks of the Dutch ‘Mega Top 50’ , which increased her popularity. In her short career Stevie Ann has already won two prestigious prizes in the Dutch music industry. In November 2005 she won an ‘Essent Award’, a prize awarded to young and promising artists. A few months later, February 2006, she received a Silver Harp.
