Anna is a songwriter from San Diego, California. She grew up under the wing of Grammy-winning-artist, Steve Vaus (who she calls "dad") and has opened for country superstars Hunter Hayes, Lonestar, Billy Ray Cyrus, LeAnn Womack, Phil Vassar and more! In November of 2015, she was invited to play in Belmont University's ASCAP Writer's Night and also made her Bluebird Cafe debut in February 2016. Most recently, Anna was chosen as the first recipient of the 'Miranda Lambert Women Creators Fund' at Belmont University. However, no matter who she plays with or where she plays... For Anna, it's always first and foremost: about the song. [iframe id="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rntci_SgOQo"]

This year marks the first recipient for that award, and it went to Anna Vaus a junior at Belmont University. The 80 applicants who applied for the scholarship were asked to submit an online application as well as an original song, which judges reviewed. They sent along their top six picks to Lambert, who decided the winner. [iframe id="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zTlaRu_Wsl4"]
