Canadian singer and songwriter Grimes has released four studio albums, one extended play, six singles (including one as a featured artist), two promotional singles and 10 music videos. Born and raised in Vancouver, Grimes began recording experimental music while attending McGill University in Montréal, where she became involved with the underground music scene.

Grimes named herself after grime music after discovering the existence of the genre via Myspace.[1] In January 2010, she released her debut album, Geidi Primes on Arbutus Records, followed by Halfaxa, in September of that year. In late 2011, she announced that she had signed with 4AD, who partnered with Arbutus Records to release her third studio album, Visions, in January 2012. Visions met critical acclaim and was hailed by The New York Times as "one of the most impressive albums of the year so far".[2]

Grimes' music has been noted by critics and journalists for its atypical combination of vocal elements, as well as a wide array of influences, ranging from electronica to pop, hip hop, R&B, noise rock, and even medieval music.

In 2013, Grimes was awarded the Webby Award for Artist of the Year[3] and a Juno Award for Electronic Album of the year.[4]
