Ghislain Caya was born in 1966 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He grew up listening to many varied artists ranging from rock, up to new wave bands. He studied 3 years in music. With a classical music and guitar background, Ghislain started very early to compose music and performing in various shows.
During his early years (1980's), he was amazed by the versatility of synthesisers for music composition and quickly transferred his classical music knowledge into a personal research for electronic music... In college, he participated to the "Cegep en spectacles", and the "Rock Releve CHOM-FM" contests.
In 1991, destiny brought him into the circle of AMALGAME with Chrystian Bourassa and Yannick Belanger. One of the rare French Canadian electronic group. With Amalgame, he performed in many shows and contests like "L'Empire des Future Stars BUD CKOI-FM", Energy Black Label CKMF-FM, The 1993 Muscular Dystrophy Canada Telethon TV show, a radio interview at CISM-FM and many other events in Quebec. In 1993, they been involved in a recording of a promotional CD compilation Demo de luxe #3 which was distributed in 500 community radio stations through Canada, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany.
In 1999, Ghislain formed the band MYSTERIAH with Chrystian Bourassa and composed music for an Irish short film for children.
After a few years, wanting to explore the world of sounds, Ghislain creates ANYMA in 2002 along with Chrystian Bourassa. They released Anyma - Volume 1 in 2004, and promoted the album in radio stations, labels, publications, websites, contests and different organizations through the world...
Since 2007, Anyma is the solo project of Ghislain Caya.

Reviews
"Anyma sound like the best Enigma records never recorded" - Paul Zimmerman (First Coast News) [4] Florida, USA
"Here is another entry in the ever-expanding collection of artists (and their recordings)who are reinvigorating the Enigma-esque/Delerium electronica subgenre", "All things considered, Volume I should elevate Anyma’s stature in the electronica and chill-out subgenre considerably if enough people find out about it"
- Bill Binkelman [5] (Wind & Wire, KFAI 90.3 FM - 106.7 FM radio) Minneapolis, USA
"Remember when Delerium made great albums? Remember when Dead Can Dance actually made any albums? Without being low grade copycats Canadian duo Anyma have tapped into that same exotic, epic, neo-medieval vein with impressive results"
- Mike Watson a.k.a. (Mike G., Ambientmusicguide.com) [6] Potts Point, Australia
"I interviewed Enigma and did a review for them a few years back in France. This group Anyma excels and delivers the same sound but with more kick and original lyrics and sound. From track one to seven each track is crafted to perfection and is a great sounding CD"
- Andrew Allan (Kangar Radio International) [7] Toronto, Canada
"The music they make is simply fantastic. Beautiful becomes a very weak word applied to the sounds created by this duo. Every tune on this seven song CD is profoundly composed and executed"
- Beverly Durfee (The Daily Sentinel Newspaper) [8] Colorado, USA
