āInspired and Inspiringā is one way to describe 20 year old, Anke Richards. The South African native writes moving, modern numbers that seem lost in time, songs culled from a lifetime of spiritual exploration. Richards tugs at your heart strings with every note and nuance of her clear, dark and somber sounding voice. Having only released a handful of songs in her 1 year career, sheās already garnered over 16 million streams on Spotify and featured on prominent Editorial Playlists. A mix of elements from a range of artists, Richards incorporates the airy, raspy high end sparkle of Billie Eilish and Tate McRae with the ressonance of LoFi/Pop that blend and tie together seamlessly by the singer/songwriterās voice.
