Anastacia will be in the Algarve to perform at Herdade dos Salgados, Albufeira, on August 17 from 10.30pm as part of the Allgarve ’10 cultural programme.
Raised in New York City, Anastacia came from an entertainment oriented family. Her father was a singer, her mother an actress in musical theatre on Broadway.
Anastacia signed in 2000 to the Daylight Custom label of Sony Music’s Epic Records and recorded her debut album, Not That Kind.
The result was a massive success. The album reached the Top Ten in eight European countries, selling over two million copies. The single I’m Outta Love became a dance hit, paving the way for the release of a revised version of Not That Kind in the US in March 2001.
A year later, she was creating a buzz in America. She joined Mary J. Blige, Cher, Shakira and others for VH1’s fifth annual Divas Live showcase in May 2002.
She made her proper American debut with Freak of Nature in June.
A self-titled album followed in 2004, with the compilation Pieces of a Dream: Best Of arriving a year later.
After making a successful foray into fashion with her own clothing line in 2006, Anastacia returned to music in 2007 and released a new album in 2008 entitled Heavy Rotation.
Tickets cost 30 euros per person and will be available soon.
