Anohni, a multifaceted creative force, initially made a name for herself as the mastermind behind Antony and the Johnsons, a chamber pop outfit that garnered widespread acclaim.
Her 2005 album, "I Am a Bird Now", would go on to win the prestigious Mercury Music Prize, cementing her status as a rising talent in the music world.
Fast forward to 2016, Anohni would re-emerge under her own name, releasing "Hopelessness", an electronic dance album that boldly tackled themes of environmental devastation and American imperialism.
This critically acclaimed album would not only resonate with fans but also garner attention from the Academy, with Anohni earning a nomination for Best Original Song for her contribution to the environmental documentary "Racing Extinction", specifically for the haunting track "Manta Ray".
