Born in Japan in 1955, her family moved to Ann Arbor and Florence in the US before settling in the Canadian capital Ottawa. But the notoriously conservative city never felt like home: young Anna was stifled by its narrow-mindedness, later expelled from school, and ended up hitchhiking to Mexico and California. After studying synths and sound recording, she moved to New York in the late 1970s. Post-punk was just taking off in the Big Apple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShe soon began producing music herself under the name Anna Domino: tender, multi-layered art pop with finesse that sounded more like Western Europe than North America.

It was a good fit with the Belgian capital’s exciting scene at the time, which revolved around bands such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTuxedomoon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
