“Standing backstage last September, waiting to audition for her first-year college talent show, Anya Movius put the final touches on the song she was about to perform. “

The singer-songwriter credits her hometown for her creative confidence. Growing up in Charlottesville, Movius says she took every opportunity to learn and perform music. At a young age, she was writing songs and singing for her parents and their friends. From taking classes at The Front Porch music school to signing up at open mics, Movius tapped into the music community and connected with songwriting mentors like Devon Sproule, Paul Curreri, and Michael Clem.”
