Anne Preven

Anne Preven is a US songwriter and musician, originally from New York.

Anne Preven started playing classical music at age 5, but gave it up as a teenager. She is a Harvard graduate and began writing songs while a student there. She was the lead singer in the LA bands Ednaswap and Annetenna, the former band name coming to her in a dream, but is best known for her songwriting. With songwriting partner Scott Cutler, she wrote the Ednaswap song "Torn" that was later covered by Australian actress/singer Natalie Imbruglia, wrote "Sanctuary" for Madonna, and wrote and produced Sinéad O'Connor's "No Man's Woman". She also co-wrote "Listen", with Beyonce Knowles who sung it in the 2006 film "Dreamgirls", for which she received an Academy Award nomination on January 23, 2007. Sinéad O'Connor also covered "The State I'm In," which was initially written for Ednaswap.

Anne Preven recently co-wrote "Start All Over" for Miley Cyrus.

Also wrote "Whatever it takes" recorded by Tom Morello on his solo work "The Fabled City".
