SAN CARLOS CITY, Pangasinan — A Filipina from San Carlos City is now making waves as a song writer, singer and head of a famous country rock band under her name called “Anna Fermin’s Trigger Gospel” in Chicago, USA.
In fact, the band bearing the name of the San Carlos lass was described by Greg Kof, a columnist of the Chicago Tribune, as “one of Chicago’s most treasured voices”.
Ms. Fermin was only a year old when her parents Renato and Nida Peralta- Fermin immigrated to the U.S. Her family settled and laid their roots in America’s dairy land at Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Although she studied classical piano and violin and performed in choirs throughout her childhood and adolescence, it wasn’t after her graduation from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1993 that she wrote her first song.
She set aside her profession as a graphic designer and embarked on a career closest to her heart—singing and song writing.
