L-R: Rafa Sardina and Ana Pozas at Water Sound, Los Angeles, California

February 9, 2004, Los Angeles, CA --"Sin Querer" is singer/songwriter Ana Pozas' second album. Her music is pop rock with American influences by artists Michelle Branch, Liz Phair and Lisa Loeb.

"I heard Ana's original demos and fell in love with her songwriting," says two-time Grammy winner Rafa Sardina (Sheryl Crow, Alejandro Sanz, Luis Miguel) who produced, mixed and engineered the album in Los Angeles. "We met in Madrid and soon discovered that we could see eye to eye on the direction of her record. Ana wanted to achieve the American sound that she likes and with new arrangements and great players, I knew we could make a good record based on the strength of her songs. I also wanted to showcase her fluid voice," says Sardina.

National and international musicians like Michael Landau, Ricardo Urbina, Fran Iturbe, Guere and Rafael Padilla were brought in to put their magic touch on the record. Sardina recorded and mixed the record at his home studio, After Hours and at Watersound Studios in Studio City.

The fist single "De La Mano Del Deseo" is already getting a nice rotation on Spain's two top Radio Stations (40 Principales and Cadena 100). Another track, "Si Es Por Tí" features a duo with Ana and the new Latin pop sensation, Alex Ubago.

Seven-time Grammy Award winner engineer/mixer Rafa Sardina has an eclectic and impressive client list that includes artists: Alejandro Sanz, Macy Gray, Jessy Moss, Dru Hill, Kina, Mariah Carey, Luis Miguel, Soul Coughing, Angie Stone, Juan Gabriel, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Indian legend Yesudas, score for Oliver Stone film "Any Given Sunday," and IMAX movie "Michael Jordan- To The Max."

Sardina engineered Alejandro Sanz' Grammy winning Album, No Es Lo Mismo (Best Latin Pop Album 2004 Vocal or Instrumental) and mixed five tracks for "33" (certified Platinum X5 and nominated "Best Latin Pop Album" 2004) by international artist, Luis Miguel. Sardina engineered "Meditteraneo" for Rendez Vous artist Marc Antoine and mixed Antonio Orozco's new album "El Principio Del Comienzo" (New Beginning) for Universal Music (Certified Platinum and Number One In Spain in its first week of release)!
Sardina also produced/mixed and engineered "Sin Querer" for singer/songwriter Ana Pozas' second album including the song "Si Es Por Tí" featuring a duo with Ana and the new Latin pop sensation, Alex Ubago.
