In a world where music constantly evolves, some melodies refuse to fade. They live on across generations—echoes of the past that find new life in the voices of the present. That’s exactly what makes Annika Bellamy so special. With her soulful voice, global heritage, and deep connection to one of the most iconic songs of the 1970s, she is not just performing music—she’s carrying forward a family legacy rooted in rhythm, culture, and love.
The Spirit of a New Generation
Annika Bellamy is far more than just a rising artist. Born in Las Vegas and now based in Long Beach, California, her voice carries traces of her Dutch, Indonesian, and European Spanish ancestry. Her multicultural background gives her music a unique richness and perspective. But even more powerful than her global sensibility is her personal connection to a musical history that continues to shape her path.
Music wasn’t a dream for Annika—it was a birthright. It lived in the stories passed down through her family, in the chords of guitars that filled living rooms, and in the quiet understanding that artistry was part of who she was.
A Guitar Legend in the Bloodline
Long before Annika ever stepped into a studio, her late uncle, Tony “T-Bone” Bellamy, had already made his mark as lead guitarist and co-writer for the groundbreaking Native American and Mexican American band Redbone. A proud member of the Yaqui and Mexican American communities, Tony broke barriers in the music industry at a time when cultural representation was rare. His signature riffs and trailblazing presence made “Come and Get Your Love” an instant classic.
To Annika, he was more than a music legend—he was family. She grew up hearing stories about his life on stage, his passion for cultural pride, and his unwavering dedication to creating music that mattered.
Reimagining a Classic—With Heart
In 2025, the story took an extraordinary turn. Pat “Redbone” Vegas, the original founder and bassist of Redbone, invited Annika to collaborate on a brand-new remake of “Come and Get Your Love.” This marked the first time ever Pat allowed another artist to reinterpret this legendary track. For Annika, it was more than an opportunity—it was a personal mission to bring her uncle’s spirit into a new era.
Annika’s version doesn’t simply repeat history. She reinvents it—with passion, freshness, and a voice that feels both timeless and now. Her vocal performance pulses with joy, reverence, and emotion. Pat’s unmistakable bass lines ground the track, creating a bridge between generations—a true celebration of heritage and healing.
More Than a Tribute, a Personal Love Letter
For Annika, this collaboration isn’t just a musical endeavor—it’s a love letter to her family, and to the uncle who inspired her long before she found her own voice.
“I’m not the only musically inclined person in my family,” Annika shares. “My Uncle Tony Bellamy was in the 70s band Redbone, and co-wrote the hit song ‘Come and Get Your Love.’ Carrying that legacy means the world to me.”
At the release event in Los Angeles, fans old and new gathered to witness something truly special. As Annika performed, images of her uncle filled the screen behind her. The room became more than a concert—it became a sacred space where past and present met through melody.
Music That Heals, Connects, and Endures
In an age of fast fame and fleeting hits, Annika Bellamy reminds us what real music is about: connection, story, soul. She doesn’t just sing—she builds bridges between generations, between cultures, between hearts. Her journey proves that songs can outlive time when they’re made with truth and love.
Her voice is a continuation of her uncle’s dream, a revival of a powerful message wrapped in groove and soul. She proves that legacy is not a weight—it’s a gift, one that grows stronger when it’s shared.
The Future Sounds Like Her
Annika Bellamy is more than a rising voice—she’s a reminder that music is memory, movement, and meaning. With every note she sings, she writes a new chapter in a story that began decades ago, keeping alive a sound that shaped history while carving out her own bold, beautiful path.
As the world listens to her reinterpret this timeless anthem, one thing is clear: Annika isn’t just honoring the past—she’s redefining the future.
