Aneela Mirza (born 8 October 1974) is a Danish singer who has found success as a member of the pop group Toy-Box and as a solo artist under the name of "Aneela".
She was born and raised in Denmark. Her mother is Pakistani, and her father is a Pakistani.[1] Her parents met in Pakistan in an arranged marriage before moving to Denmark.
She was part of the Danish pop group Toy-Box which enjoyed worldwide success in the late-1990s and early-2000s, selling over 4.5 million albums. The group released two albums of bubblegum dance music, Fantastic and Toy Ride, and had several hit singles including "Tarzan & Jane" and "Best Friend".
After the group's break-up, Aneela embarked on a solo career and released her first solo single, "Bombay Dreams", in 2005.
