In the 1990's Anita formed a hip-hop band Los Gemelos (The Twins) with a fellow rapper Zaturno (later became famous as a member of Tiro de Gracia). In 1997 she gained first major attention after singing in a Los Tetas' hit single "La Medicina". Later she joined DJ Squat, Cenzi and Seo2, and Makiza was formed.
After Makiza went on hiatus in 2001, Anita returned to France and took a break from music until 2004. After coming back to Chile in 2004 she became singing with the funk/acid jazz band Aluzinati, and later in 2005 she reformed Makiza with Seo2 and two new members and released the band's final album to date, Casino Royale.
In 2007 Anita appeared on Julieta Venegas' hit single, "Eres Para Mí" and finally released her solo debut, Kaos. Thanks to the first single, "Despabílate", Anita was nominated for the Latin version of the MTV Video Music Awards 2007 under the categories Best New Artist and Best Urban Artist.
In October 2009, Tijoux released her second solo album, titled 1977 after the year she was born. The album was a return to her rap roots, an homage to the "golden age of hip-hop"; it was largely auto-biographical, exploring mature themes from her own life, from the death of a close friend to having a creative crises, from friendship to bad luck, amongst others. It was simple and straight to the point, as emphasized by her leaving behind a lot of the singing she had been doing of late in other more pop collaborations, and concentrating on rap, both in Spanish and French. After years of sharing the spotlight with her group, collaborating with other artists, and trying to find her way as a solo artist, she has finally arrived in her own right—a raw, direct, and mature MC.
Recorded between May and September 2009, the new album was produced by Hordatoj, Foex and Tee, of the label Potoco Discos, together with Habitación del Pánico. Guests on the record include the saxophonist Agustín Moya with whom she worked with in Aluzinati, Andrés Celis, Solo Di Medina, Bubaseta, Stailok from the group Movimiento Original, DJ Dacel, Quique Neira (formerly from Gondwana), Cómo Asesinar A Felipes, and the Detroit-based MC Invincible, whom she met over MySpace and did a virtual collaboration for the song "Sube".
The album and its first single 1977 were an immediate hit in the underground rap circles of Chile, where she was welcomed back after a bit of a stray. The record was amongst the top 10 of 2009 for the blog [worldhiphopmarket.com], and it was soon picked up by the U.S.-based Latin Alternative label Nacional Records, who released it in April 2010. She was invited to attend the prestigious South By South West Music Festival in Austin, Texas, in March 2010, and from there went on to her first ever North American tour. The song 1977 is featured in FIFA 11 soundtrack, and it also appears in episode five of the fourth season of Breaking Bad.
In 2011 Ana released her new solo album, La Bala. The album deals with many political and social issues in Chile, and the lead single, "Shock", was inspired by the strikes of the Chilean students which took part in 2011.

Sacar la Voz
by Ana Tijoux
Respirar para sacar la voz
Despegar tan lejos como un águila veloz
Respirar un futuro esplendor cobra
Más sentido si lo creamos los dos
Liberarse de todo el pudor tomar de las
Riendas no rendirse al opresor
Caminar erguido sin temor respirar y sacar la voz
Tengo los bolsillos vacios, los labios partidos,
La piel con escama, cada vez que miro hacia el vació
Las suelas gastadas las manos atadas
La puerta de entrada siempre tuvo el cartel
Que dijo que estaba cerrada
Una espina clavada una herida infectada entre
Amada una rabia colmada en el todo y en la nada
El paso torpe al borde sin acorde cada vez
Que pierdo el norte tengo la pérdida del soporte
El tiempo que clava me traba la daga me mata
Filuda la flama sin calma que de las manos se me escapa
Pero tengo mi rincón florido
Sacar la voz no estoy sola estoy conmigo
Liberarse de todo el pudor
Tomar de las riendas no rendirse al opresor
Caminar erguido sin temor respirar y sacar la voz
Tengo el amor olvidado cansado agotado,
Agotado al piso cayeron
Todos los fragmentos que estaban quebrados
El mirar encorvado el puño cerrado
No tengo nada pero nada suma en este charco
Mandíbula marcada palabra preparada
Cada letra filada está en la cresta de la oleada
Sin pena ni gloria escribir esta historia
El tema no es caer levantarse es la victoria
Venir de vuelta abrir la puerta está resuelta estar alerta
Sacar la voz que estaba muerta y hacerla orquesta
Caminar seguro libre sin temor respirar y sacar la voz
Liberarse de todo el pudor tomar de las riendas no rendirse al opresor
Caminar erguido sin temor respirar y sacar la voz
En un cordel a colgar la copla que el viento mese
Que pocas veces merece cada pena suelta voz, cada tos
Pensando en sacar la voz
