Early life
Annisse was born in Takoma Park, Maryland, to a Colombian father and a Nicaraguan mother and grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland. From a young age, she participated in a gospel choir.
As a member of the Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel choir, Annisse performed as the featured soloist at major venues in the DC Metropolitan area, including Capital One Arena, The John F. Kennedy Center, The Music Center at Strathmore, Howard Theatre, Lincoln Theatre, The Vice-President's Residence, and The White House.[3][4] During her time with the choir, she performed for President Barack Obama's 56th and 57th Presidential Inaugural Prayer Services in 2009 and 2013, as well as the Children's Defense Fund event honoring Hillary Clinton at The John F. Kennedy Center in 2013.[5][6][7]
In 2014, Annisse made a second major appearance on the Centric TV Televised Tribute to Marian Anderson, held at DAR Constitution Hall, where she performed Undine Smith Moore's setting of Langston Hughes poem, "Mother to Son" and took the stage with renowned musicians such as Jessye Norman.[1][8][9][10][11] In 2017, she debuted a commissioned work titled "Dwelling Place" composed by Washington D.C.'s renowned artist, conductor, and composer, Stanley J. Thurston.[4]
She then attended Mannes School of Music Conservatory at The New School and Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University where she trained classically under Margaret Baroody, and Denyce Graves.[3][12]
