Agnese Cacciola (born August 15, 1972), best known as Neja, is an Italian dance and pop-jazz singer.
Background
[edit]Born in Turin, as a child Cacciola studied piano and, as a teenager, she started singing jazz and gospel.[1] In 1996 she released her first single as Neja, "Hallo", followed in 1998 by "Restless" and "Shock" which both charted in several dance charts across Europe.[2] In 1999 with her song "The Game" she participated in Festivalbar and won the Un disco per l'estate festival.[2][3] In 2008, the album Acousticlub marked a stylistic turn with electronic arrangements replaced by jazz and acoustic sounds.[1] As of 2013, she sold over 4 million records.[4][5]
