DESCRIPTION:
With Lynn Miles' Songwriting Camp starting Nov. 16th, we thought it'd be neat to talk to some local musicians about their approach to songwriting.

The latest OFC Songwriter Profile features Ana Miura. An international touring artist, Ana has performed at three Canadian Embassies in three Central American countries: Costa Rica, Honduras and Nicaragua. She has also been a featured musician for the Embassy of Japan in Ottawa, singing both in English and Japanese, as well as with the Embassy of Austria. Ana has also toured in Canada and the USA and has shared stages with Sarah Harmer, Broken Social Scene and Rick Fines.

Alongside her solo career, Ana founded and runs Babes4Breasts (B4B). She's taken dozens of female singer/songwriters across Canada to raise funds for a variety of breast cancer charities. To date the "Babes" concerts have raised tens of thousands of dollars. In September 2011, B4B released their first compilation album to great reception, featuring 17 of the best and brightest Canadian singer/songwriters. In recognition of her work with B4B, Miura will be awarded the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal by Senator Vivienne Poy in June of 2012.
