Being able to give back is a major motivator for the up-and-coming singer-songwriter and Future Legends Scholarship winner.
Analise was featured as one of the leads in the TVNZ series Unbreakable, which followed a group of young New Zealanders overcoming their disabilities in a bid to follow their dreams.
“I hope to be able to include other young people who live with Tourette Syndrome and are also musicians at my live performances, as well as in recording sessions.”
Selected to perform at the Isaac Theatre Royal for the Made in Canterbury arts festival in March 2021, this was her first-ever ticketed show and it was a sell-out.
“It has only been in the past two years that I have had to confidence to show my songwriting to others and to play the guitar in front of people but the encouragement I have received has given me the confidence to challenge myself to be bigger than someone who has Tourette's - I am a singer/songwriter who just happens to live with Tourette Syndrome.”
Alongside studying next year Analise is working to establish herself as a professional recording artist by performing as well as recording and releasing new music.
“My goal is to have an EP released during 2022 and to tour around the country as soon as possible.”
Analise has received many industry accolades and awards. Recently she collaborated with music legend Tiki Tane to write a fundraiser song for the Tourette’s Association NZ.
The next stop is the production of the music video for her song “Other Girl” which will be released both nationally and internationally.
