ANITA IVETTE FERRER, The Asbury Park Angel

Visionary, Anita Ivette Ferrer, the Asbury Park Angel, wields her BC Rich Mockingbird with the panache of a seasoned warrior. She bucks tradition with her unconventional style, composing and distorting her jazzy/bluesy chords and stretching her four-octave voice over a canvas of melodic harmonies.

This hybrid Latino, German and Indian has always marched to the beat of a different drum with her non-conformist lifestyle, life perspective and vintage-garbed style. The fashion designer and self-proclaimed Bohemian proclaims that if tradition perpetuates rules that stifle, she will rechisle more creative ones.

Always ahead of the times, she states that way before Amy Lee belted her operatic high notes with Evanescence, she brought in her classical and folk influences to her first Christian metal band with Chris Durante and the Promise in 1989. Every local svengali producer balked at her insistence to bring her unique essence to the project, but her influences were always rejected.

Four albums later and taking the helm as creative director of her indie label, Brave Flame Productions and creative director of her latest project Mod Prophet, Anita is a powerful and confident voice to be reckoned with.

Compelling issues that deeply trouble her are addressed on the guitar-driven and creatively passionate musical presentation. Anita groans about the skyrocketing numbers of suicide victims, peer pressure, divorces and prejudice as well as rejoices about the wonders and mystery of romantic love.

The effervescent and multi-versatile, Anita has delighted audiences with her warm persona, girlish candor and humorous between-song banter. She has been on the stage of the renowned Bitter End where her mentor, Joni Mitchell performed and Kenny's Castaways in Manhattan, as well as appeared at the Saint, Clearwater Jazz and Blues Festivals and the Stone Pony, all in Asbury Park, NJ. Anita gigged for two years at Starbucks and was a featured artist at Border's Bookstore. A memorable show was contributing to The Creation of Eve, a collaboration of women artists which benefited the rape care program, 180, Turning Lives around, a cause she strongly believes in.

The 1989 magna cum laude graduate of Brookdale College has finally come of age. Combining all her gifts of fashion, graphic art, writing and public speaking, she brings a fresh new vibe to the music industry!
