I am an Actress, dancer, artist, singer/songwriter, poet, model, and activist.  As a child, I began writing poetry, and by age eleven I wrote my first self taught song on the piano.  I continued to write songs throughout my teenage years, but never believed enough in who I was.  I went with the flow, and graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor's degree in philosophy, still songwriting remained a constant passion.  My writings were solely my personal journal, and personal emotions that I thought only I  understood.  However, as time progressed I realized that what I write not only reflects universal feelings, but a deep truth that ironically, even teaches me.  Now, I reflect back and see that my music has been inspired by my life experiences...most of my songs were inspired by a loving yet painful relationship with my mother.  She passed away on April 23rd 2007.  Although my experiences with her were like day and night...it was these hardships that taught me strength.

In 2004, I felt like there was something that I had never tried but always felt a calling to do. That is when I realized I had to dance.  I decided to take a hip hop dance class for fun at a local community college.  The instructor was also the owner of a local dance studio, and she quickly gave me a scholarship to dance at her studio. I began training in hip hop, jazz, and belly dancing. With less than 2 years of dance training under me, I began choreographing and teaching strip tease. My love for dance and the desire for moves that promote female empowerment led me to begin teaching this exciting, expressive, and liberating dance style.  After 2 years of dance classes I began choreographing and teaching at various dance studios in San Diego.  I have promoted my class on KUSI San Diego news station. I have performed with Weird Al Yankovic at the San Diego Fair, for various agencies, and for Telemundo television.  I am currently the business owner of Anissa Eve Striptease Lessons, AKA Eve Striptease.

I am also very passionate about animal right, and I have been a vegan since 2004.  I know what it feels like to be suppressed, voiceless, vulnerable, and powerless.  So with this my compassion runs deep.  This is my first step toward contributing change.  I believe in change, and that it all begins as a single spark in the imagination. The most significant aspect that I have learned from writing is that I can only be who I am.  With this said, my existence resides in utilizing my creativity as an avenue for spreading truth, love, respect, and compassion to all creatures.

In 2014 I decided to pull all my creative talents together and pursue acting.  I moved to Los Angeles and have had featured roles in Modern Family, Sons of Anarchy, and Straight outta Compton.
