Musician

In 1998, with no Portuguese language skills, but a heart full of desire to perform Brazilian music, Anje, along with husband and musical director Kym Ambrose (vibes) founded The View From Madeleine's Couch; a band still going strong 17 years down the track, and specialising in their own original Brazilian-influenced music and their favourite tunes from the bossa, samba, forro and baiao realms. This is a band that has very much put their own stamp on the genre, preferring to take the music and run off somewhere beautiful with it. Rather than exacting replication, the music is performed with reverence and respect to its roots, and the band's sound remains unique in Brazilian/Jazz music in Australia. Anje is considered one of Australia's finest interpreters of the genre, and is an award-winning songwriter, taking out the Queensland Music Award for World Music Song of the Year in 2009
