AnNa R. Unveils the Mystery of Her Captivating Stage Name
Born as Andrea Rosenbaum, AnNa R. reflected on the origins of her one-of-a-kind stage name in an interview with "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" in 2013. As she began her career, she considered the autographs she would one day sign and sat down one evening to practice them. Captivated by the N in her name, she decided to make it stand out, resulting in the name AnNa R. A small clerical error on the internet led to the widespread belief that her real name was Andrea Natalie Rosenbaum. However, this double N was simply a whim and held no real significance. The myth, she said, was likely created by someone who wanted to give the big N a special meaning.
