Los Angeles born Anji Bee was drawn to music as a mere babe in diapers. Her earliest memory is hearing the Beatles’ Here Comes the Sun while crawling around the livingroom. From preschool on, she performed in school recitals. Competing with music for Anjis attention, though, was her love of drawing and painting. Still, like all good rock ‘n rollers, she eventually dropped out of art school to focus back on music.

Combining her interests, Anji founded, produced, and distributed a series of underground zines, focusing on the Southern California music scene, interviewing indie artists including Operation Ivy, Red Temple Spirits, and Ethyl Meatplow. She also did a 3-year stint with college radio, hosting shows and working in station management, including a run as Music Director, at KUCI 88.9 fm, in Irvine. When GameSpy launched their brief lived RadioSpy site, Anji contributed CD and mp3 reviews, as well as artist interviews with folks such as Adam Freeland and Wade Randolph Hampton.

Though Anji founded and contributed to a number of bands over the years, Lovespirals is far and away the most successful, not only in terms of popularity but also creative satisfaction. She considers her collaboration with bandmate, Ryan Lum, to be the most rewarding experience to date. Of course, with her endless curiosity and drive to create, sideprojects abound. Anji has contributed lyrics and vocals to several tracks with Bitstream Dream, Plastic Chair, and Dreamzone 51. Recent projects include collaborations with Beauty’s Confusion and Pain of Thought.

Anji began a streaming internet radio show, “The Lovely Ladies of Electronica” in 1999 during the beta phase of Live365. By 2004, she was ready for a more open musical format, so she changed the name to Chillcuts, and began adding male voiced bands and instrumental music, as well. 2006 finds Anji switching formats from streaming internet radio to podcasting, with the launch of The Chillcast, focusing on indie and podsafe artists with a chill vibe, be it electronica, jazz, blues, soul or rock.

In 2005, Anji and Lovespirals partner, Ryan Lum, began Chillcuts Records to release their newest album, Free & Easy, available via iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon, and many other online sources, as well as in stores via Metropolis Distribution in the US, Monitor in Hong Kong, and Noise Kontrol in Mexico.
