"...commands your attention...intense, emotive, hypnotic vocal performances which instantly elevates them above so many other bands in this genre... a multi-textured, musical canvas she skillfully uses to paint dazzling stories with pure emotion and clever lyrics as her tools... With lyrics like that it was very easy to maintain my concentration on the creative and musical potency of this band." Muse's Muse

"...upbeat collection ranges across the board of acid jazz territory which includes rock and funk...tight and finely structured with brilliant chords and chord changes laced with intelligent songwriting and strong out in front vocals with Nanyana and her Natalie Merchant meets Sade look…" SLABmusic.com

"beautiful, dark-haired vocalist...She's got a nice set of pipes" "serves up blues based guitar rock in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughn, and the rhythm section adds a nice funk groove" "jazz-flavored blues rock in the adult contemporary vein" and Who's To Blame" is a song I wanted to hear over and over again" StarPolish

"Vocals are evocative and powerful with lush layered harmonies that contribute a lovely texture. But Nanyana's lead vocals are powerful and wide ranging. Keyboards perfectly compliment the guitar work and crisp percussion provides a rhythmic edge to the material. Who's To Blame is equally evocative; a down-tempo ballad-like track, the whispy vocals show yet another dimension of their lead vocalist...concludes with the jazzy but orchestral ballad You Loving Me, listen for the superb piano solo during the instrumental bridge." Musical Discoveries

Six White Horses: "this is rock-n-roll...full of the angst and fury that propelled bands to the top of the heap" Something About You: "contains brilliantly executed vocals and an incredibly well placed guitar solo" "NANYANA instantaneously brings to mind the power of Mother's Finest. . . that brought to bear the finesse of pop, the power of rock-n-blues and the drive of funk..." "the best thing I have heard from the south in a long time." Bottom Line..."this is about as radio ready a batch of songs as I've heard online in quite some time" GodsOfMusic

"Six White Horses" with a gutsy guitar riff underpinning the keening vocal of their girl lead singer. Or what about the turbulent jazz funk rock mix of "Change Of Seasons" Lots of diverse music influences without closely resembling anyone, this could possibly be described as alt pop with progressive rock and jazz overtones, but even that doesn't do it. An American band who richly deserves to be heard beyond their home state CrossRhythms (London)




::BIO::

Nanyana Summer has been crooning as long as she can remember and has been
writing songs since she was eleven and taught herself to play guitar at
fifteen. Being from a military family, Summer traveled quite a bit, often
listening to her Dad's constant Sade and Mom's favorite Thai jams. Her
main influences include: Chris Cornell, 311, Stone Temple Pilots,
Jamiroquai and Sarah Vaughn. Nanyana loves the deep lyrics and amazing
vocals of Chris Cornell and Sade, then Jamiroquai inspires the desire to be
free in the funk, plus Sarah Vaughn draws out the soul to sing like an
angel. Summer's aggressive side relates to the groove and metal of
311 and STP.

Summer got an opportunity to co-write with Arrested Development's own
Speech and is grateful for the advice and encouragement she has received
from him. She is also extremely grateful for what she has in her
band-mates. "There is such a tremendous amount of talent in these guys."
With Jason Reichert's Blues influencing guitars, Todd Damian's Police and Seal
on drums, Jean-Claude Le Blanc's Heavy Metal favorites
on Bass and Chris Elvis's Yes and Seventy's influence flavor on keyboards, these guys
have influences aplenty. "I love the diversity contained in our sound. Each song holds the flavor of
all our favorite avenues of music. We all come from different aspects of
life, yet are unified by our love to create music." Summer's first band,
"NANYANA", is named for her, and she is confident it will be her only band.
"I couldn't imagine sharing this work, this road, this dream with anyone
else, blood, sweat, tears and all!"


Opening for the Little River Band, playing for 10,000 fans at Olympic Centennial Park,
being chosen as a Showcase Artist at the 2002 Atlantis Music Conference, airing on numerous
internet radio stations, FM radio airtime in Berlin and Shonan Beach, Japan is just a small
sampling of some of the accomplishments of this outstanding Band.
