Etiquetar a Anna Ly sólo como bajista y cantante resulta muy impreciso. En realidad se trata de una multi instrumentista y artista brasileña, con una sólida base musical que parte de sus estudios de piano clásico en la infancia. Tocó con varios cantantes y grupos, como Samuel Rosa (Skank), Jota Quest y se presentó en el Circo Voador y en el Programa Livre de Serginho Groisman. Adoptó en 1993 el nombre artístico de Ana Luiza Lee y preparó un show cover de Rita Lee que tuvo mucho éxito.
Optó luego por una carrera en solitario y lanzó así varios conciertos, a tiempo que empezaba a trabajar como educadora musical en el Centro de Musicalizaçäo Infantil de la Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG).
Anna Ly empezó a descubrir el gusto de una repercusión importante de su trabajo tanto en Brasil como a nivel internacional, con las piezas del CD “Panapaná” que
entraron en la programación de varias radios de Londres (BBC y Jazz FM) Roma, Ámsterdam, Munich y Tokio. El CD “Panapaná” y el “What a Wonderful Bossa World” (2006), compuesto conjuntamente con el guitarrista Marcio Correia y producido por Arnaldo DeSouteiro, aparecen destacados en el sitio web All Music Guide (www.allmusic.com).En 2005 participó en el CD “The Tropical Lounge” de Marcelo Salazar, sumándose a un gran equipo de más de 40 músicos, entre ellos Danilo Caymmi y el DJ Marcelino da Lua.
