Annastasia Anneve Baker (born 16 November 1988) is a British Gospel singer, and song writer, Annastasia first caught the public eye as a contestant who progressed into the top six female singers in the judges round of the 2008 edition of The X Factor (UK series 5). Undeterred by not getting past this stage, Annastasia subsequently auditioned for the X Factor 2010 series, The X Factor (UK series 7) and once again made it to the judges round.

In 2013 Annastasia auditioned for and won the UK Gospel talent competition Time2shine.

On Christmas Eve of that same year, Annastasia launched the video to her first single release entitled "First Love".

This was followed on 15 June 2014 by the video for her second single release "Let Me Go". Touched by the plight of the girls seized in Nigeria, this was Annastasia's contribution to the #bringbackourgirls awareness campaign. Amongst the many highlights to her career during 2014 as a winner of Time2Shine series 3, Annastasia was invited to perform at Barbados Gospelfest, the Caribbean's premier Christian music and arts festival. Annastasia also completed the recording of her first album entitled "You Turn" which was preview launched at London's Jazz Café to a sold-out audience on 14 September. The album is anticipated to be on general release from early 2015.

Annastasia Baker was nominated for a MOBO Award in the "Best Gospel Act " category in September 2014.
