TOY-BOX are Anila Mirza and Amir El Falaki. They had met each other at a New Year's Eve party in 1996 and
decided to combine their talents... They had been both singing and dancing professionally for some years,
and they alos stand behind the choreographies of the group.
Anila was born in Hillerid (Denmark) on the 8th October 1974. Anila's parents are from Indonesia and, when
she was young, they moved to Denmark and made a very good life. She is 1,54 m tall and her hobbies are singing
and designing clothes. Her hair and eyes are brown. Her favourite movie is Titanic, and the boy of her dreams
is Will Smith. Amir was born in Copenhagen (Denmark), on the 12th of August 1973. He is 1,86 m tall and he
loves playing football, dancing, and playing with his Playstation. Before becoming a part of TOY-BOX, he used
to be a dance teacher.
In the end of 1998 they released their debut single "Tarzan & Jane". A couple months afterwards, they came up
with a new single "Best friend", which became a major hit. During some time, the 2 first singles remained in
the the same charts, on a very high position. Best Friend even peaked #1 in the charts. Then TOY-BOX came up
with "The sailor song", but that didn't work out to be a big hit. The song entered in the Top 20, but it didn't
got any higher. The follow-up "Teddybear" was even less succesful : it entered the Tipparade in Holland, but it
didn't came in the charts. Anila and Amir were little bit disappointed, because they had believed very strongly
in "Teddybear".
Meanwhile their first album "Fantastic" had some success, especially in Holland, where it reached #1 after only
2 weeks. It took a long time before it got any lower. After 1 year the album disappeared from the charts, but
after a while it came back.
Their second album "Toy ride" included the song "Russian lullaby", a cover of E-type's hit song.
2004 : Anila is currently working on her solo carreer and she changed her name to Aneela. Unfortunately, like
many others, she turned to pop and RnB style.
