The essence of Bay Area singer-songwriter-musician Anna Maria Flechero musical passion is personified in her highly energized live performance. The floating fingers and flying feet of Anna Maria Flechero, a native San Franciscan, captures your full, undivided attention. This sentiment is echoed by many who have seen her in action and strikes a harmonious chord with Glass House Communications Founder & CEO, Y'Anad Burrell. "I had my first encounter with Anna Maria Flechero when she performed for Through The Vine's "UnSung Diva! Showcase" on April 3, 2005 at "Simone's, " Jack London Square, Oakland. She was very easy to work with as an artist and displays exceptional professionalism and dedication to her art."

It wasn't long after this performance that communications begun between both parties for GHC to help in the development of a concentrated and effective PR and Publicity campaign for Anna's current release: "Journey Into The Fourteenth Hour" (October 2004). Glass House Communications will work closely with the artist to create a variety of Branded Entertainment partnerships and exposure opportunities. Some of these strategies will feature a mixture of product positioning/placements, industry event performance/sponsorship, community involvement/support and a concentrated media campaign highlighting the accomplishments and contributions of Anna Maria Flechero to the rich heritage of the SF Bay Area's musical landscape.

Having composed many songs for her brothers' and childhood friends' bands, Anna Maria Flechero developed into a seasoned musician (acoustic piano, synth and vocalist) starting her own five-piece Latin-Jazz band "Blessed Soul" with long-time friend, Jorge Ellington. Groomed and guided by the Latin-influenced rhythms of the Mission District of San Francisco, it's no wonder why "Blessed Soul" quickly grew into a 13-piece band and a Bay Area favorite. Before embarking on a solo career (with performances in both Japan and the US), her band shared the stage and/or played with a who's who in the Bay Area Latin-Jazz arena: Carlos Santana, Pete Escovedo, and Malo to name a few as well as other musical greats like: "Graham Central Station."

Her "Neo-Smooth Jazz" style is said to be: "Simply Different Than The Rest" and is heavily influenced by music pioneers and legends: Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Diana Ross.
