ANITTA G
Anitta started her singing career as if by chance in 2015 in the Canary Islands, inspired by her karaoke audience.
During winters, Anitta has performed as an artist of Sympatia ry in the dance restaurant Apilaniity in Canary Islands, and as a singing soloist with the band Kunnan pojat (South) at gigs.

HISTORY
The popularity she gained also inspired Canary Mikki to make a long CD play with her, and at the end of July a long play “Sparkles of Heaven” was released, with which Canary Mikki and Anitta have been able to donate a considerable amount of money to Sympatia ry to support cancer patients.
The album was released on the market in July 2015 and in the same autumn the album was also presented at the closing ceremony of the Stage Season in Tampere. The next day, Maki Kolehmainen of Aikakone contacted Anitta and expressed her willingness to start making music for Anitta. So in the summer of 2016, a three-track EP, “Queen of the Evening,” was completed, which was also made into a YouTube video. The other songs on the album were: “You Can’t Give Up Yet” and “Here I Could Stop Time”.
In addition to Maki, Mats Tärnfors, a well-known Swedish composer from Eurovision Song Contests, participated in the making of the music, and Sana Mustonen and Kati Valjus were responsible for the lyrics.
The “Queens of the Evening” EP was also made in English: “I Don`t Need Your Love,” which also resulted in a YouTube music video, as well as the songs “You & me” and “Not gonna run”. The lyrics of these songs were provided by Tracy Lipp, a long-standing professional musician who moved to Finland from the United States and is also Anitta's singing teacher.
In the spring of 2017, Chrisse Johansson contacted and offered to re-arrange and record a song called “Finland in the Heart” by him and Veikko Samul in honor of Finland's centenary.
The song “Finland in the Heart” was made into a single and the song was a great success on radio channels.
In June 2018, Anitta released a new long-playing CD “Love to You”, which is a sequel to “The Queen of the Evening”. In addition to the three songs already released, the album has six new songs and a translation song called “Rose”.
2019 Maki Kolehmainen / Here Music renewed the song "Jää mun luo", composed by Kari Ketola and previously released on the "Sparkles of Heaven" CD.
In the winter of 2020, the song Sympatia, lyrics by Sana Mustonen and arranged by Toivo Hellberg, was released as a joint composition by Kari Ketola and Maki Kolehmainen. In the summer of 2020, the Eurovision Song Contest song "Eläköön Elämä" by Sonja Lumme, "Long Live Life" ("Eläköön elämä"), was released, which was once again performed by Here Music, re-arranged. In the summer of 2020, an EP album was also released, which included songs: "Stay with me", "Long live life", "Sympathy" and "Finland in the heart".
In January 2021, the English song Sympathy was released.
The songs have also been published as karaoke versions in Kansankaraoke.

Anitta G & Kunnan pojat – Villi Minttu
– Sanoitus on rohkean humoristinen. Kokonaisuus on aikamoinen (sekametelisoppa), vaikkakin kaikki osa-alueet erottuvat selkeästi ja jokaiselle löytyy oma kohtansa. Sooloja ja nostatuksia riittää ja kappaleen joutuu kyllä kuuntelemaan toiseen kertaan ja kyllä entistä paremmalle se kuulostaa. Sanoisinko, että massasta poikkeava erillainen esitys on luvassa. Suosittelen ehdottomasti, tämä on suorastaan iloista kuunneltavaa. Kyllä tästä jäi hyvä fiilis kuuntelenpa vielä kerran…-Jarno-
– Tässä on tyylillisesti erinomaisen erikoinen sinkkukokonaisuus, hyvillä sellaisilla. Soundit ovat mukavasti soivat ja toimii kappaleessa hyvin. Tämä sinkku on sitä jotakin, mikä saa kuulija/tanssijan hyvälle mielelle että mennään mukavan keveästi eteenpäin. Koko sinkkukokonaisuuskin on hyvin edukseen kaupallisesta massata erottuva, rytmillisesti että taustallisesti charleston ja/tai mustavalkoelokuvien musiikit ja tekstit nykypäivästä. Artistin äänikin sopii kappaleeseen täydellisesti sekä taustat hyvin sovitettuja, eli erittäin hyvin tuotettu kokonaisuus. – Harold –
