Claire Elise Boucher, known professionally as Grimes, is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director and visual artist. Her music incorporates elements of varied styles and genres including dream pop, synth-pop, art pop, electronic, experimental pop, R&B and hip hop. Throughout her career, she has released five studio albums, two extended plays, eleven singles, and four promotional singles. Born and raised in Vancouver, Grimes began releasing music independently late in the first decade of the 2000s, releasing two albums, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa in 2010 on Arbutus Records. She subsequently signed with 4AD and rose to fame with the release of her third studio album Visions in 2012. It produced the singles "Genesis" and "Oblivion," and received the Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year. Her fourth studio album Art Angels (2015) received critical adulation, and was deemed the best album of the year by several publications. Her fifth studio album, Miss Anthropocene, was released in 2020. Her next album, Book 1, was supposed to be released in early 2023. After Miss Anthropocene (2020), Grimes continued to expand her futuristic and experimental sound. In early 2021, she released Miss Anthropocene (Rave Edition), featuring remixes by BloodPop®, Modeselektor and Channel Tres. She later returned with a run of standalone singles, including Player of Games (2021) and Shinigami Eyes (2022), previewing her long-teased project Book 1. In 2023, Grimes released I Wanna Be Software, collaborated with Sevdaliza on Nothing Lasts Forever, and appeared on Anyma’s cinematic single Welcome to the Opera. The following year she returned on Anyma’s TARATATA, blending ethereal vocals with melodic techno influences. Her 2025 singles I D G A F and Artificial Angels mark the newest phase in her evolution — shimmering, high-definition explorations of post-human emotion, uniting her signature art-pop vision with futuristic electronica.
