Music design consultant and trilingual singer/songwriter of Uruguayan descent, Anita’s original songs have been featured on various television shows including MTV’s Real World Cancun and Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, MTV Tr3s’ Quiero Mis Quinces, E!’s Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami and VH1’s Basketball Wives. As the lead singer/songwriter for the Latin Hip Hop group Los Bad Apples, Anita opened for Grammy Award-winning artists Ludacris, Duffy, Ozomatli, Meshell Ndegeocello, Oscar D’Leon and others. In February 2009 she turned up the heat across the Middle East on a Tour for the Troops, and in August 2009 earned a Best Band nomination from Univision.
On Valentine’s Day, 2010, Anita joined forces with Mexican rock star and producer, Gil Gonzalez (Genitallica), to release the multicultural electro-pop album “Lover”, about which Billboard’s dance reporter, Randy Schlager, remarked, “Lover’s blend of Latin, Dance and Pop music offers something for everyone. I like every track and the vocals are divine.” The album includes a collaboration with electro-cumbia pioneer, Camilo Lara (Mexican Institute of Sound).
When she’s not writing and recording her own music, Anita designs World, Latin & Adult Contemporary music programs for an international portfolio of clients ranging in industry from hospitality to retail. If you’ve ever stayed at a Westin Hotel or flipped through the music channels on Direct TV, chances are you’ve heard her compilations. She also consults clients on the benefits of catering to Hispanic consumers and makes their environments more welcoming by incorporating Latin music as well as Spanish-language on-hold and in-store messages in their commercial spaces.
“Whether working as an artist or programming other artists’ music, my goal is to promote diversity and celebrate Hispanic culture as an integral part of the American landscape.”
- Anita Benner
