Anohni is the lead singer of the group Antony & the Johnsons. She is also known for singing vocals on Hercules and Love Affair’s hit single “Blind”, as well as her collaborations with Björk, Laurie Anderson, Cocorosie, Lou Reed, Boy George, Nico Muhly, Current 93, J. Ralph and Marina Abromovic among others.

In 2015 she announced that she would be using the name Anohni as her professional moniker, a name which she had been using in her personal life for many years prior to the public announcement.

This moniker change came with a change of sound as well. Her politically charged dance and pop-oriented album, Hopelessness, (co-produced by Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke) was released on May 6, 2016.
