BIOGRAPHY
Anita Clay was born in Colorado Springs, CO. She grew up in a large close knit family consisting of aunts, uncles, tons of cousins, friends, and animals. At the early age of three, she began to sing and found that she had a natural talent and passion for music. Her, her Mom, and her Brother moved to Junction City, KS when Anita was 11. At the age of 12, she began to take her passion seriously and began taking voice and music lessons. At 15, she discovered her passion for acting and began to train and perform around her small town. Upon graduating High School, Anita got accepted to a conservatory in Manhattan, NY to study Music and Acting. She has then added training in martial arts and stunts and also produces and directs passion projects from time to time. She continues to work on herself, honing her craft and creativity.
