Anachnid

Winner of the 2021 Félix Award for Aboriginal Artist of the Year and winner of the 2019 SOCAN Foundation Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year Award, Anachnid is an Oji-Cree multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal. 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 longlist for Alternative Pop Album, Electronic Hip-Hop Album and Artist of the Year at the Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Awards, as well as ADISQ English Album of the Year. Her music is a sensual hybrid of electro-pop, trap, indie, soul and hip hop, with delicate and complex sonic textures evocative of her ancestral cultures.

Nearly two years after the release of her debut album, she has released two new singles: Live Alone and Love Alone, revealing a new side of the artist, an isolated, unfiltered Anachnid, creating an alternative pop anthem with a touch of grunge, and spitting out raw poetry with a touch of black humour.

On stage, she delivers an immersive experience with a quiet strength and communicates her sensitivity, drawing us into her intimate, symbolic world.

The performance is made possible by the Quebec government's Plan de relance économique du milieu culturel.
