Anita Holt is a Texas-born singer/songwriter based in Nashville. Her original music winks at her experience in pop, country, jazz, folk, opera, musical theatre, and choral music. However, it is the warmth of her 4+ octave tone that she is best known for.

Anita earned a Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis in Music Theatre from the University of Texas at Arlington where she was awarded “Vocalist of the Year” before graduation. Her professional training began with piano lessons at the age of five, and voice lessons at the age of nine. She also taught both piano and voice for nearly 20 years.

Active in the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene until her move to Nashville, some of her credits include performances with the Fort Worth Opera, Lyric Stage, Johnny High Country Music Revue, Creative Arts Theatre & School, UTA Jazz Ensemble, Texas All-State Choir, and she performed at Carnegie Hall with the Richland College Select Choir. Her first CD entitled “This Silly Instrument” comprised all original music, and one of her singles was chosen as a finalist in the Austin Songwriters Group songwriting competition. Her most cherished honor is receiving the second-ever Paula Kaye Evans Memorial Scholarship.

In addition to co-writing original music with her husband, Anita creates arrangements for soloists, and choral and vocal ensemble groups. This provides an outlet for harmonies and vocal arranging that comes so naturally to her.
