"In 2000, "I'm outta love" was the beginning
of his record. In these years
of success, and after the production of a personal line fashion, Anastacia
Lyn Newkirk, the big small-skinned white woman by the voice but
more black than ever, born September 17, 1973 in Chicago, it came very
high. But.. It seems that the music had always been present in its DNA
as in his life: daughter of Robert Newkirk, singer in the local East
Cost and Diane Hurly, actress musical to Brodway, Anastacia began his
journey in the world of music with sister Shawn as dancer.
The journey of Anastacia was not without
difficulties; His vocal timbre black not opened his own way, was not seen
as a gift, so much so that he found difficult to find work in the "real
world". But the world certainly could not deprive a voice like his ..
And so came the last chance in'98 participated in a "Star Search" program
with MTV which sought new talent. Again to Anastacia, was not recognized
its merit and not won, but this could not stop it; His talent was noticed
by a big star, Michael Jackson, and so in'99, he signed a contract with
Daylight. In the same year then produced his first album, "Not That
Kind" contains the single "I'm outta love" turned on the radio for a long
time, arriving in the league tables and making it known throughout the
world. "Anastacia, the classical pop singer, a comet that will soon
return anonymous" thought many, but enough to look at and listen to his
album to understand the world that was not the case. Look sober, not
an inch of skin discovery moreover, long blond hair fascination for sale
.. A charm different from old lolite pop.. Glasses always a beautiful
sight and sweetness never hidden .. It could not be compared to any other,
especially for his voice, a voice that down each schedule, a pretty little
blonde white only one meter and sixties with a voice from black. It so
another two albums; After the debut album came in 2002 the fact his second
album "Freak of Nature".. Anastacia knows it is out of the ordinary and
not just for the look but because of his voice .. As his mother said, is a
"freak of nature" .. a joke well managed is to say! In this album, the
artist will find even more success, even more popularity: containing
individual "Paid my Dues" "One Day in Your Life" "Why'd you lie to me" to
the sweet "You'll never be alone". This new album will give an important
role: to write and interpret the anthem of the "Championships World Cup"
in Japan, "Boom." A dream has become reality, a reality that Anastacia
lives with all its forces until in 2003 should set aside this dream to
return our feet on the ground: a breast cancer has affected. But our
"freak of nature" does not let go, addressing the disease and decides to
make a documentary to help all women who like you suffer from this evil.
Here are emerging now most intimate part of the singer, that the first
anyone had ever seen.. A woman who faced difficulties do not surrender, a
woman who wants to see the world in pink, but above all.. A wonderful
woman who loves life with itself, which can not hate the wonderful gift
that was given to live, despite his life had not been easy: the first
separation of the parents, then the Crohn's disease and now cancer...
Anyone in his place would have sold, it would let go, but she no.
She loves this life and even in the face of all these adversities, it
is still able to take in hand their courage and say "if not die and die,
die trying"... Fortunately for us his was not only a test, Anastacia
defeated cancer, thanks to an intervention and treatment of radiotherapy
reduces that to be without power. Despite this however back in recording
studio and record a true masterpiece, a CD in which stripped their
feelings when they challenge as an artist .. "Anastacia", his third
album, full of emotion, anger, grief, desire to live, to rise again and
restart their journey, and shows traces of the office .. "Season Change"..
Everything changes, everything has changed for her because not want to be
the doll market music, shouts his anger and not interested in what people
may think .. you know that his fans will understand .. "Left Outside
Alone".. Great song that reports on the great musical scenes, and behind a
song so beautiful, a text so deep that you show all the rage to be left
alone, only when he needed not to be .. "Time" with his desire not to
miss even a moment of this, because this is what he has learned that life
is too short and we risk losing when you least expect.. "Sick and
Tired", other great song. And here his piece more personal, more intimate
"Heavy on my Heart", a cry of pain with which the great Anastacia wants to
show us all what was his pain... Pain which is also found in "Where do I
Belong", although more mitigated. A pain that has passed, as we show
in "Welcome to my truth"... It is true, has suffered a lot but this
despite his desire to live to do, yet a lot. It begins a tour around
Europe, "live at last" tour (2004) that will lead to Italy to a single
stage in Milan "sold out". But Anastacia does not stop and start a new
tour in early 2005 that will be in Italy for two stages: Bologna and
Bolzano. At this point it seems that we should take a little break,
and instead... after the "live at last tour" and "live at last tour is
back" see you in live with a summer tour, "Encore Tour", where our country
gives four stages: Como, Rome, Genova and Catanzaro. Then again silence and Anastacia returns with the greatest hits, "Pieces of a dream" that will promote a long time, until March 2006 with his participation in Sanremo to promote the second single, after "Pieces of a dream" released in November of 2005 ... is the turn of "I belong to you".
Other appearances of the singer, LIFE BALL, and the ROCK IN RIO (concert held in Lisbon in June 2006).
On 21 April 2007 were married in Mexico with his bodyguard, Wayne Newton.
