We had the good fortune of connecting with Ana Crusis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ana, how do you think about risk?
I think that risks are necessary if you want to make it in anything, especially in entrepreneurship and the entertainment industry. Taking risks has helped me be able to cultivate relationships with people in the industry because the thing is, no matter how good you are, often times it’s about who you know.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My vibe and energy sets me apart from others and that’s what I am so happy to share. I always get compliments on my energy and that means so much to me because how people perceive you, especially in the industry is so important. When it comes to my music I’m one of one. My style of R&B is meshed with neo-soul and my voice and tone is just not what people expect out of this small frame lol. I’m still not where I want to be yet career wise but I know that it’s coming, however I’m a lot further than I was and that’s just due again, to the most high and perseverance.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Omg Atlanta is so lit there’s so much to do. I definitely would say go to Little Five Points, The Spinning Pie, Ace Lounge, the waterfalls in Roswell, Boogalou, Milk and Honey, Slutty Vegan, 5 Church and they definitely have to pop out to King Of Diamonds-Atlanta!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shout out The Most High first and foremost. Of course my family and friends. I definitely want to give a shout out to my instructors at Delaware State University, they helped mold me into the musician that I am today and also play a huge role in my music stylistically. I also want to thank the city of Atlanta man, the people I have met here have just supported me and showed me so much love.
