About

 Anna Cara, 22, is a guitarist and artist from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, whose self-taught journey has taken her from bedroom covers to international stages. Picking up the guitar at 14, she began sharing performances online in 2020, uploading covers to Instagram and YouTube. Her playing quickly caught attention - including that of Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires) - which led to her first major break.

At just 19 years old in 2022, she joined Crossbone Skully, Henriksen’s ambitious new project that has earned millions of streams with its debut album Evil World Machine, co-produced by Mutt Lange. The multimedia project features contributions from Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Johnny Depp, and Nikki Sixx. With the band, Anna has been involved in both the musical and visual sides - contributing to video production and recording for upcoming releases.

By 22, she had also become lead guitarist for Storace, fronted by Marc Storace - the legendary voice of Krokus— alongside Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus), Dom Favez (Krokus), and Emi Meyer. She recorded standout guitar solos on the band’s album Crossfire and has performed live with them across Europe, bringing her distinctive energy and precision to audiences worldwide.

Anna’s creativity extends beyond performance. She has created guitar content for LickLibrary on their popular YouTube channel and has worked alongside Jamie Humphries. An artist as well as a musician, she designs her own visual branding and merchandise artwork, blending music and art into a cohesive creative identity. 

On her own platforms, she runs an active YouTube channel (@AnnaCara1), Instagram (@annacara_1) and TikTok (@annacaraofficial) where she continues to share performances, creative projects, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into her life as a working guitarist.

Still early in her career, Anna Cara is an up-and-coming talent who has already achieved milestones - performing with legendary frontmen, recording on internationally released albums, playing international live shows and contributing to major multimedia projects. With her distinctive style, stage presence, and creative versatility, she is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting new guitarists in modern rock.
