    Annette manages to come across in neither a tacky nor a showy way; her songs sound graceful but also energetic. She doesn’t grumble preferring instead to illustrate the hope in all her experiences, which is reflected not only in her lyrics, but also in her musical accompaniment. Annette’s lively voice supports her songs’ varying moods be it in a mellow or bold way, creating a complete harmonious sound.

    I like your music. It‘s authentic. Unplugged. As if live, as I guess it is live! Plain. Just voice & hands. Nothing more. Convincing. I don’t need anything else. Anyone can add orchestra or computer. Only the professional can make it unplugged. Without a doubt. Pure & unadulterated...

    Love is the central theme in her new album, “Never Again & Always”. Her own love story? To some extent…

    Standing ovations. For the singer. The pianist. The lyricist. The composer. For so much emotion. For the strength to pull through a project like this. Standing ovations for the result, the order of the songs, for… so much.

  • Jörg Hurlin
    I've had an ‘earworm’ all week from your terrific piano interlude "I am a Lohmann Breeder". It was really fantastic. The whole performance and also the MC presenting! Let stay in contact for other events in the future.

    …Glad to see you again as a Presenter on this ‘online’ FDM-event, but nothing prepared me for your song on the piano. I was blown off my chair! That was absolutely brilliant, staggering! And I do hope they keep a recording of that performance, so that we at Lohmann can enjoy it again and again. Too bad it was ‘online’, so you did not hear a well-deserved tsunami of applause, but be sure that I was screaming here, jumping up and down – and waking up the whole family who had gone to sleep already. …

At the end of the day...

  • Golden oldies

  • Film themes

Yashpon Music®


Annette draws inspiration for her musical compositions from the romantic ups and downs of everyday life – sometimes her own experiences, sometimes those of others.

Her development as a musician, pianist and composer is not only about finding an individual expressive outlet but rather focuses on sharing her stories with audiences, allowing them to discover and feel their own stories through her music, moving them emotionally and giving them pleasure..

Her love of music started for a completely different reason, one she remembers clearly:

“It was all due to sibling rivalry, as my brother, almost two years older than me, had already started learning piano.

I was four at the time and so of course wanted to do everything he did – only better!

With my little legs dangling from the piano stool, too short to reach the pedals, my journey into music began…”
