Winner of the 2021 Félix of the Year for Indigenous Artist of the Year and winner of the 2019 SOCAN Foundation Indigenous Songwriter of the Year Award, Anachnid is a Montreal-based Oji-Cree multidisciplinary artist.
Description
Her spirit animal, the spider, has eight legs, and she embodies as many complex personalities on stage and in life: venomous spirit, young woman in love, caring grandmother... Her debut album Dreamweaver, released in February 2020, was nominated on the Polaris long list, for alternative-pop album, electronic hip-hop album and artist of the year at the Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Awards as well as for ADISQ's English-language album of the year. His music is a hybrid and sensual style of electro-pop, trap, indie, soul and hip hop, with delicate and complex sound textures evocative of his ancestral cultures.
Almost two years after the release of her debut album, she released two new singles: Live Alone and Love Alone, which revealed a new side of the artist, an isolated, unfiltered Anachnid, creating an alternative pop anthem, with a touch of grunge, and spewing raw poetry with a touch of black humor. On stage, she delivers an immersive experience with quiet strength and communicates her sensitivity to us, bringing us into her intimate and symbolic universe.
