Anna Maria Bagger was born in 2001 in Karlsruhe, Germany in an Estonian-speaking household.
She started playing the piano and the Violin at a very young age and attended the Children’s Choir of the local theatre.
At the age of 12, she found her passion for playing the Mandolin. Her potential led to winning numerous prizes at the Nationwide Contest „Jugend Musiziert“ from 2015 to 2019, including two 1st prizes in 2018 and 2019. When she was 14, she played for the first time with a professional Orchestra, the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen. After that followed numerous engagements with other Orchestras, Baden-Badener Philharmoniker and YXUS Ensemble Estonia to name a few.
Also, she played the Mandolin part of the „Godfather Suite“ by Nino Rota with the Mannheimer Philharmoniker in 2019.
She sung her first lead role at the local theatre at the age of 10 in the Musical „Der kleine Tag“ and attended singing lessons from the age of 16. In 2021, she sang the role of „Ronette“ in the Musical „Little Shop of Horrors“ in Germanys biggest open-air theatre (Freilichtbühne Ötigheim).
After that, she took part of the TV Show „Estonian Idol“ (Eesti otsib Superstaari) in 2021 and made it to the top 16 across Estonia, all besides studying Mathematics at the Technical University of Berlin.
This accomplishment led to her deciding she wants to dedicate her life to music and hence she started her preparations for the University of Music and Dance Cologne, which is amongst the biggest and most important music universities across Europe.
She got admitted and now studies Jazz/Pop with Vocals as her main subject with Anette von Eichel. Also she has attended workshops with Lauren Newton, Aurora Newland and Tamara Lukasheva, to name a few.
„My love for the Mandolin stays“, Anna Maria says. Currently, Anna Maria likes to work independently on her own, to improve her skills in singing, composing and playing instruments. Hence, her current focus is composing and producing music of her own.
