Anjimile

[4][6] Anjimile began writing songs when they were a music industry student at Northeastern University, and wrote most of their most recent album Giver Taker while in rehab in Florida in 2016, where they got sober.

In 2018, they entered NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert contest, and a panel from Boston affiliate WBUR named them the best entrant from Massachusetts.

The following year, a Live Arts Boston grant from a pair of local non-profit foundations gave them the budget to make Giver Taker.

[14] In 2021, they signed to 4AD,[15] and released their EP, Reunion, which included reimagined, orchestral versions of songs from their 2020 album, Giver Taker, with guest artists Jay Som, SASAMI, and Lomelda.

[20][21] In May 2023, Anjimile released the track “The King,”[22] which Pitchfork wrote, "transforms acoustic guitar and his own voice into a whiplashing storm".
