Soren Anders (born John T Fischer) is an American composer, singer, record producer and instrumentalist from southern Illinois.
He is the creator of the multi-award winning band Shimmerplanet.
Ander's has said that as a child, he spent a lot of time outdoors, growing things and getting dirty.
A bit of a hippy, he subscribed to Organic Gardening Magazine when he was eight years old.
He spent much of his early years playing the piano and violin, drafting maps of imaginary cities, and escaping into endless hours of TV watching.
At the age of 16, Anders turned off the TV for good, and wrote his first piece, a terribly melancholy instrumental composition for solo piano.
In college, Anders committed himself to the piano, studying under the acclaimed principal pianist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mary Sauer.
Anders possessed a special affinity for terribly melancholy Russian music.
