“Her powerful voice soothes with words of affirmation over a soft, skipping neo-soul bassline” - CRACK MAGAZINE

“A live-sounding organism that sits on the edge of modern soul” - CLASH MAGAZINE

Born in Toulouse, France, anaiis moved around often, being raised between Dakar, Dublin, and Oakland. The work of Black thinkers and artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Octavia Butler, James Baldwin, bell hooks, Nina Simone, Alice Walker, and more, helped anaiis find her own voice. Her debut EP Nina dropped in 2018. Her first project showcased a strong conviction and depth in her artistry. After her debut project, two COLORS sessions for singles “chuu” and “vanishing” put her on the radar for even more music listeners around the world.

Past performances include opening for Daniel Caesar on his UK tour, performing on Mereba’s U.S. tour, and sharing the stage with soul legend Erykah Badu. Beyond the music, anaiis has also been featured as a speaker for TEDxLondonWomen at the Southbank Centre. A polymath with an insatiable appetite for growth and knowledge, anaiis’ new music and upcoming tour mark a continuation of her creative journey, inviting listeners around the globe into the intimate and reflective world she has created.
