One listen to music by Anomie Belle and you’ll know why she was selected to tour with Tricky. That same dark trip-hop vibe is prevalent and accented with almost whispered vocals. If you’re headed to Bumbershoot in September, be sure to check her out!

Anomie Belle – everything

Year Formed: 2008


1. Past: What is your musical background? What has led you to this point?
As I child, I was trained as a classical violinist and taught myself to play the piano. Through my teen years, I took voice, guitar, drums, composition, and audio engineering lessons, and I released several solo albums. After college, I left the states to work as a studio musician and producer in Europe and Latin America. After several years recording music abroad, I returned to the U.S. an electronic musician and began making music as Anomie Belle.

2. Present: Where are you at now in your career? What are you currently working on?
I released my first record as Anomie Belle in November of 2008 and toured with Tricky, the Album Leaf and Little Dragon during the months that followed. I am now working on an EP, my sophomore release, and composing more music for film.

3. Future: What’s coming up for you? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I hope to continue to release music that helps people connect to authenticity and raw human experience. I have had the pleasure of collaborating and touring with some amazing musicians from all over the world. My music is always evolving, and I look forward to collaborating with other remarkable musicians and filmmakers, releasing more records, and reaching wider audiences across the globe.
