BIO

A.N.J.A., the German-born and Belfast-based singer, is a dynamic burst of raw energy, captivating audiences with unhinged, anthemic tunes.

With her dark, hypnotic sound, she’s guiding them into her own occultish imaginarium towards the edges of the underworld with a fearless, electrified spirit.

Laced with grit and dripping with realness, Anja Romer, the driving force behind A.N.J.A., is harkening back to retro punk and garage, psych and stoner rock while boldly facing the real-life horrors of our uncertain present. 

With her often powerful, sometimes sultry vocals, evil riffs and a badass attitude, she effortlessly combines coolness with mystical tinges all the while radiating fierce feminine energy and unapologetic confidence. 

A.N.J.A. draws inspiration not only from folklore and classic horror cinema but also from themes encompassing transformation, empowerment, and the chilling dystopian realities of everyday life. 

Her creative source is further fueled by influential artists such as Queens of the Stone Age, Masters of Reality, The Velvet Underground, L7, Jack White, Iggy and the Stooges, PJ Harvey, and The Cramps. 

Her singles "Monoxide" in July 2021, "A-Bomb" in June 2022 and “Witchmother” in early 2023 showcased her unpolished and electrifying sound. Since then, she has steadily ascended the local music scene, making her mark with a series of powerful and memorable live performances on renowned stages throughout Northern Ireland's capital with her 4-piece live band.

A.N.J.A. released her debut EP "The Season Of Evil" on November 3rd 2023 which will include already released bangers "Stimulation" and "Midnight Raid".

BBC Television Feature: The track “Monoxide” earned a spot on BBC 3’s tv show ‘Wreck 2’ earlier this year, marking a major milestone for the band.

Compilation Feature: The single “Flytrap” appeared on the indie punk label Time To Be Proud’s A New Generation Calling EP in June 2024.

Upcoming: Single release “When You’re The Worst You’re The Best” on 14/02/2025
