2025 Music Masters
Campaign Contribution Recipient
Rising songwriter Anna J Stamato is making her official debut in country music as she fuses country’s rhythmic storytelling with pop’s catchy melodies. Drawing inspiration from Randy Travis, Taylor Swift, and Alan Jackson, the 26 year old Frederick, MD native has her footings in the classic country sound while making it distinctively her own.
In 2016, Anna was accepted into the esteemed Songwriting program at Belmont University, where she studied with Grammy award winning professors, producers, and mentored under Marcus Hummon (co-writer of “Cowboy Take Me Away” by The Chicks and “Bless The Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts).
Since graduating in May of 2020, Anna has been performing both in Nashville, TN and Charlotte, NC while releasing music as an Independent artist.
Her latest single 'Frustrated' was recorded and produced at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN. In May 2023, she concluded a 3+ month run on aBreaks Music's radio playlist with her song "Better Than That" at #3 as the only Country artist in the top 10.
Her single "Frustrated" also premiered on the aBreak radio chart in the summer of 2023 and made it to the top 5 as well, concluding its run at #4. In June of 2024, her 2022 debut single 'Nobody with Nobody' hit #1 on the aBreak 58 chart. In September of 2024, she performed a the Randy Travis Music Festival in Marshville, NC.
Her next single 'If You Don't Like Country (Then You Don't Like Me)' was debuted at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN and also hit #1 on the aBreak Music Station in January 2025.
