Anna F.

Anna Wappel, known professionally as Anna F., was born in the small Austrian town of Friedberg to a teacher couple.

Music has been Anna's life since she was a child. At family gatherings, there was always music and singing. Her younger sister Kathi sang as a background singer in her first band and played the flute. "My dream has always been a career with music or as a sports reporter," she told Kurier.

Anna studied English and Italian philosophy and literature in Graz while working weekends at an ATV sports editorial office in Vienna.
