When I lived in Milan I knew Ania J. as that sassy, over-the-top diva in my group of girlfriends who was always harassing us to come hang out with her at Milan's underground club Gasoline. Six years later, this Canadian vocalist has achieved Italian fame and is hard to miss in the European club culture. She's in your face no matter what musical genre, vocalizing over beats aside top international DJs, as Masters at Work, Joe T Vanelli, Kenny Carpenter, Supernova and more.

In March 2005, Ania J. traveled to Miami for the Winter Music Conference together with producer Giacomo Godi from SUPERNOVA, representing their first single "Rock U," which hit the top ten charts in the house genre in Europe and New York. Ania J.'s performed at various fashion ceremonies including Dolce & Gabbana, where she shared the stage with Grace Jones, and perhaps most well-known for her regular performances at Milan's most exclusive nightclub, Chandelier Motel - the dinner theater New York's The Box is modeled after.

Since America's a bit behind on the vocalist bandwagon and many clubbers, myself included, don't fully understand what a vocalist is, I sat down with this “rock star angel” to learn about nightlife through her eyes.
