In 1993, Hanski recorded the English-language album Gypsies & Indians with singer-songwriter Lee Hazlewood. Before that, Hanski had recorded several songs from Hazlewood in Finnish, the most famous of which is Hazlewood's "Home Wine" ("Summer Wine") made famous by Nancy Sinatra. Anna Hanski presented the song in Finnish in 1990 with Pekka Kaasalainen playing and singing in Vilper's Perikunta. The song is also featured in English with Hazlewood as a duet with the album "Gypsies & Indians".

The brightest years of Hanski's career ranged from mid 1990s to mid-year, when she was in Ensio Music's backing. Since the mid-1990s, she moved to Fazer Records, although she only recorded two albums (Sanat Small and Living in the Heart). After the Fazer season, Anna made two albums for BMG Finland / Sony BMG in 1999 and 2006. The long publication stages of the end stage are explained at least partly by family additions.

Anna Hanski is the daughter of singer Seppo Hanski. His grandfather was actor Pehr-Olof Siren, and her grandmother Anja Pohjola. Anna is the sister of Pinja Hanski, Janus Hanski and Petra Hanski. With the musician Leri Leskinen, she has her daughter, Nenna and with Jyrki Jefremoff, daughter Alina. Anna Hanski is also an UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
