Everything about Annabella Lwin totally explained
Annabella Lwin (born
31 October 1966 in
Yangon,
Myanmar) is a
Anglo-Burmese singer,
songwriter, and
record producer best known as the lead singer of
Bow Wow Wow.
Biography
She was born
Myint Myint Aye (Burmese for "high high cool", the name given to her by a Burmese priest)
to a
Burmese father and an
English mother in
Yangon,
Myanmar.
In 1980, at the age of thirteen, she successfully auditioned, after being spotted singing in a launderette by a friend of
Malcolm McLaren's, as the
lead singer for the newly formed
band Bow Wow Wow and changed her name. The group's biggest
hits were the
songs "Go Wild in the Country" and "
I Want Candy". Lwin created some controversy by posing
nude (at the age of fifteen) for the cover of
See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah! City All Over Go Ape Crazy, the group's first full-length
album.
Lwin left the group in 1983 to embark on a
solo career, releasing
Fever in 1986 (RCA 8061). She formed a new band, Naked Experience, as well as collaborating with other
musicians and
songwriters such as
Billy Steinberg (
Madonna,
Divinyls) and
Ellen Shipley (
Belinda Carlisle), releasing songs like "Carsex" and dance tracks like "Do What U Do", produced by Steve Lironi (Hansen). She reunited with former bandmate Leigh Gorman to reform Bow Wow Wow for a tour in 1997, and has had a frequent small-venue concert schedule since 2003. Appearances since their reunion have included
Eshan Khadaroo of Beat Kitchen and
Adrian Young from
No Doubt filling in on drums for the original member Dave Barbarossa.
Lwin has also been recording original material as a solo artist, and is a featured vocalist on numerous transatlantic dance tracks with producers like Tony B and the
Utah Saints. Some mystery surrounds her collaboration with the Utah Saints, as both her official site and the Utah Saints official site mention the collaboration but it appears never to have been available to buy. Her songwriting brought her into partnerships with
Guy Chambers (a collaborator of
Robbie Williams) and Michael Lattanzi (producer of
Mariah Carey,
Paula Abdul,
Sly & Robbie,
Anastasia).
Since 2000 Annabella has performed several concerts for global charities like
UNICEF and
Save the Children Fund, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for needy children . She featured as a vocalist for
Camp Freddy members,
Dave Navarro and
Billy Morrison for a Fundraising Tsunami concert. She also co-wrote and co-produced a solo song with
record producer Carey Beare, donated exclusively to the Hands and Hearts Organization for Tsunami Relief in the Spring of 2005.
Lwin is a practicing
Buddhist.
