Agnese Cacciola (born August 15, 1972), best known as Neja, is an Italian dance and pop-jazz singer.
Born in Turin, as a child Cacciola studied piano and, as a teenager, she started singing jazz and gospel. In 1996 she released her first single as Neja, "Hallo", followed in 1998 by "Restless" and "Shock" which both charted in several dance charts across Europe. In 1999 with her song "The Game" she participated in Festivalbar and won the Un disco per l'estate festival. In 2008, the album Acousticlub marked a stylistic turn with electronic arrangements replaced by jazz and acoustic sounds. As of 2013, she sold over 4 million records.
