Annie Haslam

Annie Haslam fascinates me as a voice first and a painter second, though both halves clearly feed each other. Best known as the lead singer of Renaissance since 1971, she carried a five-octave range through a progressive rock era that demanded exactly that kind of soaring ambition. What I respect is how she didn't simply coast on that gift; from 2002 onward she built a parallel life as a visual artist, painting canvases and even instruments. That dual creativity tells me she's someone who needs to keep making things. For a singer from Bolton to define a band's sound for half a century is no small feat in my book.
