If you feel a sudden gust of wind, that’s probably just Ana Gomes Ferreira’s star rushing past you. Ferreira is a singer/songwriter who goes by the stage name Ana Free. Free first came to prominence in 2007 for a series of songs she posted on YouTube and quickly became one of the most subscribed to musicians on the site. Her most popular video – which has reached nearly 1 million hits – is “Chained”, a song she wrote when she was 16. Her affinity to music was apparent at an early age. Her father taught her how to play the guitar when she was 9 and by 11 she was writing her own music. Ana recently completed her studies at the University of Kent, graduating with a degree in economics. When she isn’t performing at live venues in Portugal and the UK, Ana spends a good portion of her time recording her debut album. The first single from that album, “In My Place”, peaked at the #2 spot in Portugal in 2008.
