Biography

  • Anastacia (born September 17, 1968) or Anastasia Lyn Newkirk is an American pop, rock and soul singer-songwriter hailing from New York City, New York, U.S.

    Born to a club-singing father and Broadway actress mother, Anastacia’s interest in singing and dancing began at an early age. Despite being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at age 13, Anastacia didn’t let this affect her ambitions and became a professional dancer by her teens, with appearances on MTV’s “Club MTV” and two music videos for Salt-n-Pepa including “Get Up Everybody (Get Up)” (1988) and “Twist and Shout” (1989).

    She followed these appearances with vocal contributions on pop-star Tiffany’s album “New Inside” in 1990, Jamie Foxx’s debut “Peep This” and Paula Abdul’s third studio album “Head over Heel” (1995). Two years later in 2010 with the encouragement of manager Lisa Braude, Anastacia joined the MTV talent show “The Cut”. While the singer didn’t win the contest, she turned the heads of revered artists like Elton John and Michael Jackson and ended up signing with Daylight Records in March 1999.

    Anastacia released her debut album “Not That Kind” internationally in 2000, which became an instant hit. The album reached the Top Ten in eight countries in Europe and Asia, selling over two million copies worldwide and produced the dance hit “I’m Outta Love”. Yet to make her U.S. debut Anastacia released “Freak of Nature” in June 2002 followed by her self-titled album in 2004 and the compilation “Pieces of a Dream: Best Of” in 2004.

    Her next album “Heavy Rotation” released in 2008 which despite featuring producers Ne-Yo, The Heavyweights and Lester Mendez, failed to perform as well as its predecessors. The sound moves away from the notable pop rock towards something a little more ‘urban’, a sound direction Anastacia regrets allowing her record label pushing her in the direction of. The singer then successfully sold out 24 shows with fellow singers Chaka Khan and Lulu, who together also opened the 2009 Royal Variety Performance.

    Anastacia has subsequently released “It’s a Man’s World” in 2012 a cover album of rock songs by male artists, and “Resurrection” in 2014. The latter proved to be a resurgence for the singer with another Top Ten UK album, “Resurrection”was met with both critical and commercial success.

Live reviews

  • Anastacia

    Known as the little lady with the big voice, it’s no surprise that Anastacia wowed audiences with her powerhouse pop vocals. Starting her music career as a backing singer for artists such as Paula Abdul and Jamie Foxx, Anastacia ventured on her own musical career path in 2000 releasing her debut album “Not That Kind” and was a huge success going multi-platinum in Europe and achieved biggest selling song of the year with “I’m Outta Love” in Australia. Creating new sound known as ‘Sprock’ she fused soul with pop and rock to achieve her unique sound.

    As well as her incredible vocal capacity, she has the ability to write incredibly catchy pop songs with a funky edge like “Not That Kind” and “Paid My Dues” whilst producing endearing straight front the heart power ballads like “Welcome to My Truth” and “Heavy on my Heart”.

    With six albums worth of material to delve into, you can be sure that with 2 hour sets Anastacia will take you on an emotional journey full of heart and soul and bound to play a handful of your favourites.

    Having a full band on stage really allows the songs come to life as she intended them to be. Playing to sold-out arenas, the rocky band and electric guitars hype up the crowd before Anastacia graces the stage in leather clad attire, and her instantly recognisable voice fills the huge arena welcomed by waves of screams and applause.

    Accompanied by a trio of gospel backing singers as she roams freely around the stage waving to the crowd as she sings “Why’d You Lie To Me”. Joined on stage by energetic backing dancers the track gets a burst of Latin infused guitars as she samba’s across the stage.

    The crowd goes wild for “Sick and Tired” clapping along to the beat, waving their flags and banners. Slowing the tempo right down, Anastacia takes to a stool to belt out “Secrets” with abstract video footage behind her. With a quick costume change, her signature tinted glasses make a return as she gets down to “Not That Kind” bringing a whole lot of sass.

    Saving her best hits for last “Paid My Dues” and “I’m Outta Love” has the crowd on their feet dancing and singing along as Anastacia and her dancers turn up the energy to the max.

    With incredible vocals, energy and a whole host of hits, you’re bound to have a blast!

  • Anastacia gave fans an unforgettable night! As promised it was all about the music. A family show with great sympathy and interaction with the public.

    The best known songs made ​​the audience vibrate as new songs from the new album "Resurrection". When she showed her rock side singing Guns n 'Roses and AC / DC, showed his grit and musical versatility.

    I am a member of the official club fans in Portugal - COFAPT - and I emphasize the love and surrender of all members to Anastacia for years and the affect that the singer returns is indescribable.

    There was a singer-public relationship when it decided to read and answer questions from the fans, looking always know where the fan was in the crowd, signing the paper and promising that it would be returned to the same.

    Also reacted with affection returning and thanking the gifts sent to the scene.

    The phenomenal music, the charisma of the musicians who accompanied her and the contagious joy of Anastacia gave fans a magical and unforgettable night.

    A funny moment was when a fan sent a packet of potatoes onto the stage and she saved.

    Anastacia is a unique, fun, warrior, powerful woman. And her voice is simply wonderful. I also want to emphasize the generous sympathy of backing vocals that were after the concert with the fans.

    Now wait for the next concert with anxiety...

  • Vocal powerhouse Anastacia was a staple appearance on the global charts in the early to mid-00s. The Chicago singer/songwriter had a varied amount on success during the beginning of her career until her third album fell off the charts altogether in the US and she struggled to come back. However the UK audiences were far more supportive and her latest aptly named album 'Resurrection' became a top 10 hit.

    There is no wonder that Anastasia looks utterly blown away by the deafening cheers as she steps out in London, perhaps not realising in how high acclaim the UK audiences hold her. She performs a setlist comprising of all the hits including a spurring rendition of 'Sick and Tired' which seems even more momentous as Anastacia talks about her battle with cancer and Chron's disease beforehand. The new material sounds powerful and has not lost the blues inspiration that first allowed Anastacia to stand out on the pop circuit. The largest cheers are received for 'I'm Outta Love' and 'Left Outside Alone' which remain as iconic as ever. It is clear to see that the performer has had almost as good a night as the adoring audiences.

  • Great concert. Turned out this was the first night of her Evolotion Tour 2018. For an artist of Anastacia's pedigree, kicking off in Tivoli Vredenburg Utrecht was pretty modest and low key.

    Sick & tired and Paid my dues stood out for me. Two young female dancers added to the show, the band was solid.

    Didn't really rate the keyboards singer filling in the vocals when Anastacia was off stage for yet another costumechange. Unenviable task. Who isn't going to come off second best in that situation?

    Concert wasn't that long. Took her a while to get on stage (21h15, scheduled 20h30), she was off stage quite a bit and after one encore it was over. Shade over 1h30 total length?

    Entertaining evening nevertheless. Just love that powerful voice, very personal with the audience and time to frequently pose for all the folk holding up their smartphones too. People at the very front will have got some gems of pictures!

    She was definitely the boss tonight!

  • The concert was really amazing. Anastacia has so much power and energy! She makes all the time jokes and it's so funny. An example is, the chair where she wanted to sit on was too high for her and she lean over the chair with her upper body to put it down and it looks really funny and then she said "oh I know I'm really sexy"

    Anastacia always involve the audience to sing with her. She almost dances all the time and the audience was jumping up to the songs. Anastacia also sing slow emotional songs like pieces of a Dream, where she has an unbelievable voice in the high tones. Totally Anastacia is a wonderful, funny, inspirational talented women who makes every joke with e.g. one of the Fanily (she called the fans so) started with "We are Fanily...I've got all my freaks with me" and then the Fanily started and all the others of the audience sang it. That was really cool. It's worth it to see Anastacia live on stage!

  • Anastacia at Uni-Halle Wuppertal last sunday night: Amazing... ANASTACIAzing! I am not quite objective when reviewing this concert, because I had the opportunity to give her a cute butterfly musician miniature, and she breathed me a kiss then. Anastacia was top motivated to get on stage and play and sing. Unique voice. All the hits are performed. Close interaction with her audience. A fine band (with dancers, backing singers), simple but very effective stage and light design. Good sound, even in a multi-purpose arena. Anastacia proved in Wuppertal that she is an absolute must hear, must be seen live.

  • Words are not enough to express my feelings when I came out of the show. Thank you Anastacia for brightening up what has been a very sad few weeks. You are right, we will keep doing what we like doing and when we want to. You never fail to entertain, on the many occasions I have seen you, I always feel uplifted when I come out. THANK YOU Anastacia. THANK YOU. Xx

  • She is great ! She knows how to make a show and we loved that she is so “crazy” .

    The location was chosen perfectly and we were very happy since I bought the tickets that we were going to see and listen live to her, but the actual feeling is more than I can describe with words.

    Great great experience ! and AWESOME concert!

  • This was the finest performance and a joy to behold of every artist out there. A magical experience. This is the tenth time I've seen her live, and due entirely to health reasons, probably my last. Anastacia has saved my life 3 times, once in a dream twice, owing to depression for real. And I have yet to meet her to thank her.

  • Words are a bit impotent, to describe her concert and I'll be brief. Let's just say she and all her fellow talented performance friends had the entire audience standing and dancing and singing (myself included of course), which included a pregnant woman (with twiins she told me) dancing next to me!! Wonder-full night !!!
