Antony and the Johnsons

Born in the UK and raised in California, ANOHNI relocated to NYC in her late teens. She spent ten years working in underground late night forums as a singer and performance artist before assembling a group of musicians to record her first album, Antony and the Johnsons, in 1998. Influenced by singers Boy George, Alison Moyet, Marc Almond, and later, great American singers including Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Otis Redding and Donnie Hathaway, ANOHNI forged a singular path through popular music in the 2000s by addressing broad themes of environmental crisis and feminism. Her career has taken her over the course of 30 years from performing with prerecorded cassettes on small stages in Manhattan to presenting her music with symphonies in opera houses throughout the world.
