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.

Shock
by Ana Tijoux
Veneno tus monólogos
Tus discursos incoloros
No ves que no estamos solos
Millones de polo a polo
Al son de un solo coro
Marcharemos con el tono
Con la convicción que basta de robo
Tu estado de control
Tu trono podrido de oro
Tu política y tu riqueza
Y tu tesoro no
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No permitiremos más, más tu doctrina del shock
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No países solo corporaciones
Quien tiene más, más acciones
Trozos gordos, poderosos decisiones por muy poco.
Constitución pinochetista
Derecho opus dei, libro fascista
Golpista disfrazado de un indulto elitista
Cae la gota, cae la bolsa, la toma se toma la maquina rota
La calle no calle, la calle se raya
La calle no calla, de bate que esta
Ya todo lo quitan, todo lo venden
Todo se lucra la vida, la muerte
Todo es negocio
Como tu todos, semilla, pascuala, métodos y coros
Veneno tus monólogos
Tus discursos incoloros
No ves que no estamos solos
Millones de polo a polo
Al son de un solo coro
Marcharemos con el tono
Con la convicción que basta de robo
Tu estado de control
Tu trono podrido de oro
Tu política y tu riqueza y tu tesoro no
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No permitiremos mas, mas tu doctrina del shock
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó (doctrina del shock)
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
Golpe a golpe, beso a beso
Con las ganas y el aliento
Con cenizas, con el fuego del presente con recuerdo
Con certeza y con desgarro, con el objetivo claro
Con memoria y con la historia el futuro es ahora
Todo este tubo de ensayo
Todo este laboratorio que a diario
Todo este fallo, todo este económico modelo condenado de dinosaurio
Todo se criminaliza, todo se justifica en la noticia
Todo se quita, todo se pisa, todo se ficha y clasifica
Pero, tu política y tu táctica
Tu típica risa y ética
Tu comunicado manipulado ¿cuantos fueron los callados?
Pacos, guanacos y lumas
Pacos, guanacos y tunas
Pacos, guanacos no suman
¿Cuantos fueron los que se robaron las fortunas?
Veneno tus monólogos
Tus discursos incoloros
No ves que no estamos solos
Millones de polo a polo
Al son de un solo coro
Marcharemos con el tono
Con la convicción que basta de robo
Tu estado de control
Tu trono podrido de oro
Tu política y tu riqueza, y tu tesoro no
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
No permitiremos más, más tu doctrina del shock
La hora sonó, la hora sonó
La hora sono, la hora sonó
La hora sono, la hora sonó
La hora sono, la hora sonó
