Anita was born on the 28th of December in 1971 in Amsterdam.
She was a lovely happy child who was always singing & performing at family gatherings. Anita has always have felt inside even when she was a very young child that she wanted to be an performing artist (later in life).
Growing up Anita always stayed in touch with her artistically feelings & from time 2 time kept on performing for public.
She participated in several high school singing contests, performing musical acts (like Trouble Sisters and singing with Marvin D. & and formed a R&B due with a singer called Glen). Anita even performed as a dancer on a video clip of Candy Dulfer.
In July '91 Anita finished her education course (secretary) and established her first 'steady' job as a administrator at a police station (taking care of traffic fines).
Around that same period Anita had met also with Ray Slijngaard (a good friend of Marvin D.)
Around the same time there were two Belgian producers (J.P. de Coster & Phil Wilde) who had asked Marvin D. to write a rap on instrumental song (Get ready for this).
As Marvin was very busy at that time he passed the assignment on to Ray.
Subsequently Ray had not only wrote a rap but also wrote a chorus which was meant to be sang by a girl... (Anita).
So Ray asked Anita to sing the chorus on the lyrics he wrote for the song Get Ready For This & Anita agreed on doing so.
Afterwards Anita & Ray went to a small studio in Amsterdam recorded this song as a demo in order to present it to the Belgian producers. De Coster & Wilde loved the way the song turned out to be and asked both Anita & Ray to participate in a pop act. They decided to call the group "2 Unlimited" and with regard to this project the rest is history....
Anita Doth became well known all over the world as the lead singer of the biggest European dance act ever! With 2 Unlimited Anita sold over 20 million records and 50 million compilations worldwide (see the 2 Unlimited the story of... and discography 2 Unlimited.)
They collected golden and platinum awards in every country of the world which made Anita the unrivalled Queen of Dance!!
After five years of - producing hit after hit, making more then 15 video clips, 45, songs, 4 albums, more then thousand of TV. & radio interviews, numerous performances everywhere, traveling to almost every country of the world, not much time spending at home with family & friends .
2 Unlimited split up in 1996.
One would think that Anita would take a 'sabbatical' or a well earned vacation, but Anita choose the opposite and as producer and presenter of the first Dutch TV show with, video's, live acts, dancers en DJ's from all corners of the dance scene, Anita stayed true 2 the dance scene. The show was called Welcome the Pleasure Zone and was broadcasted by the Dutch TV station TMF (now MTV).
Those days Anita also worked as a radio DJ for a while making the play list and presenting the radio show Anita & Friends. This show was broadcasted by the Dutch radio station 538.
But after 1 year producing & presenting Anita said to her self: "Nothing beats making music" so the decision was made to start concentrating on a solo career & producing a solo album (later to be released as "Reality") In 1997 Recording sessions started taking place in Amsterdam, London and New York.
In London Anita shared the studio with Steve Mac. (for example Damage, Boyzone and Nomad's "I Wanna Give You Devotion"). That collaboration resulted in four tracks with elements from UK dance, pop, drum 'n' bass and even chemical beats.
'New York's House Legend Todd Terry (for instance Jocelyn Brown, Robin S. and Martha Walsh) supported Anita in his hometown and wrote the single "Universe", as well as two other songs together with her.
In Amsterdam Anita worked with Adamski, producer of hits like Seal's Killer as well as with , some very talented Dutch songwriters/producers (like Daniel Testas, Micheal Siebert, Holger Schwedt).
Her first solo album "Reality" turned out to be a very divers record that showed Anita's talent for singing songwriting and producing. The singles Universe, Lifting Up My Life, This Is Reality were released from this album and all entered the top 100 charts. Although Reality did not get the recognition it deserved Anita is & always will be very proud of her Album Reality. (see Anita discography)
