Claire Elise Boucher (/buːˈʃeɪ/;[2] born March 17, 1988), known professionally as Grimes, is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Her lyrics often touch on science fiction and feminist themes. The visuals in her videos are elaborate and sometimes have fantasy themes. She has released five studio albums.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Grimes began releasing music independently after moving to Montreal in 2006. She released two albums, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa, in 2010 on Arbutus Records, before signing with 4AD and rising to prominence with the release of her 2012 album, Visions. The album received the Canadian music industry Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year, and yielded two singles: "Genesis" and "Oblivion". Following this, her fourth studio album, Art Angels, was released in 2015, and several publications named it the best album of the year. Her fifth studio album, Miss Anthropocene, was released in 2020.

Outside of music, Grimes had a voice role in the 2020 action role-playing video game Cyberpunk 2077 and was a judge on the music competition game show Alter Ego. She has three children with Elon Musk.

## Early life

[edit]

Grimes was born Claire Elise Boucher in Vancouver, British Columbia,[3] on March 17, 1988,[4] the first child of Sandy Garossino, a former Crown prosecutor and arts advocate,[5] and Maurice Boucher, a former banker who works "in the business side of biotech".[6][7] She is of French Canadian (Québécois), Ukrainian, and Italian descent.[8][9][10][11] Her grandmother was from Ukraine and immigrated to Canada.[10]

Grimes and her younger brother, Mac, were raised Roman Catholic, and attended Catholic school in Vancouver.[12][13] She later commented that her religious upbringing had a significant impact on her: "It totally influences everything I do. I think I have serious latent Catholic guilt issues."[14] Her parents divorced when she was 11 years old, after which her mother remarried.[15] Her step-father is an Indo-Canadian man named Ravi Sidhoo, allowing her to experience a multicultural upbringing.[16] Through her mother's remarriage, she has two stepbrothers, one of whom is a member of the hip hop duo LNDN DRGS and performs under the name Jay Worthy.[17]

In 2006, Grimes graduated from Lord Byng Secondary School and relocated from Vancouver to Montreal to attend McGill University's joint Bachelor of Arts and Science program. "I was studying general Arts and Science degree, but I was in the electro-acoustics program" she said in early interviews.[18][19] However, she later claimed to have studied neuroscience.[20][21] She was expelled in December 2010 for skipping classes.[22][23][24]

## Career

According to the timestamps on her original Myspace page, she began writing music under the name Grimes in 2007.[25] Her performer name was chosen because at the time, MySpace allowed artists to list three musical genres. She listed "grime" for all three, without knowing what the grime music genre was.[26] Grimes was self-taught in music and visual art.[27][28]

In January 2010, Grimes released her debut album, Geidi Primes,[29] a concept album inspired by the Dune series,[29][30][31] followed by her second album, Halfaxa, in October of the same year.[32] After the release of Halfaxa, she began to publicly promote her music and tour beyond Montreal. In 2011 Grimes released five songs on her side of the split 12" with d'Eon, Darkbloom (through both Arbutus and Hippos in Tanks).[33][34] Beginning in May 2011, Grimes opened for Lykke Li on her North American Tour, and the following August her debut album was re-released through No Pain in Pop Records, in CD and vinyl format for the first time.[35][36] In 2011, she collaborated with DJ/producer Blood Diamonds.[37][38]

### 2011–2014: Visions

Following extensive touring and positive reception to her first two albums and Darkbloom contribution, Grimes signed with record label 4AD in January 2012.[39][40] Her third studio album, Visions, was released on January 31, 2012, in Canada through Arbutus Records,[41] February 21, 2012 in the United States through 4AD,[40][41] and various dates in March 2012 elsewhere.[42][43] appeared on a number of publications' year-end lists and was considered Grimes' breakout album.[44] NME included it on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list in 2013.[45] Visions won the Electronic Album of the Year Award and Grimes was nominated for the Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Junos.[46][47] Grimes also won the Artist of the Year Award at the 2013 Webbys.[44][48]

> [After nine days] you have no stimulation, so your subconscious starts filling in the blanks ... I started to feel like I was channelling spirits. I was convinced my music was a gift from God. It was like I knew exactly what to do next, as if my songs were already written.

Grimes in The Guardian, April 27, 2012[49]

The album's second single, "Oblivion", was named the best song of 2012 by Pitchfork[50] and was produced into a music video co-directed by Emily Kai Bock and Grimes.[51][52] Pitchfork ranked "Oblivion" at number one on their 200 Best Tracks of the Decade So Far list in 2014.[53] In interviews following the album's release, Grimes explained that she was assigned a strict deadline by which to have her third album finished far before it was complete,[54] resulting in her recording the bulk of Visions while isolated in her Montreal apartment in Mile End[55] for three consecutive weeks. Notably, this intensive recording session included a period of nine days without sleep or food and with blacked out windows, since she generally could not make music as readily during the day, and doing "tons of amphetamines"[49][56] She described the writing process as being "equally enjoyable and tortuous",[57] feeling that its difficulty contributed to its success.[57] Grimes went on the Visions Tour from 2012 to 2014 with supporting acts Born Gold, Myths, Elite Gymnastics, and Ami Dang.[58][59][60] From March 23-25, Grimes staged an art show and charity auction at the Audio Visual Arts (AVA) gallery in New York City, featuring paintings and drawings.[61] In March 2012, Grimes collaborated with Cop Car Bonfire's Tim Lafontaine and went under the name, Membrain.[62][63] They released an EP called, Sit Back, Rewind.[62][63] In May 2012, Grimes was featured on Blood Diamonds's song "Phone Sex".[64][65] In July 2012, Grimes toured as a supporting act with Diplo and Skrillex on the Full Flex Express Canadian Train Tour.[66][67] In August 2012, Grimes made her American television debut on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.[68][69]

In April 2013, Grimes posted a written statement addressing her experience as a female musician as rife with sexism and expressed disappointment that her feminist stance was often interpreted as anti-male.[70][71] When speaking about her preference to produce all her studio albums herself, she said, "I don't wanna be just like the face of this thing I built, I want to be the one who built it".[72] In December 2013, Grimes employed the services of Jay-Z's management company, Roc Nation.[73][74]

On March 8, 2015, Grimes released a self-directed video for a demo version of "Realiti" from an abandoned album.

Speaking of her upcoming fourth album, scheduled for a "surprise" release in October, Grimes said that record was recorded with "real instruments", a departure from the primarily synth and sampler driven composing of her prior releases.[89] On October 26, 2015, Grimes released the lead single of the album, "Flesh Without Blood", as well as a two-act music video comprising both "Flesh Without Blood" and "Life in the Vivid Dream", another song from the upcoming album.[90][91] The album, titled Art Angels, was released in November to favourable reviews, garnering an 88 (out of 100) rating on Metacritic[92] and the Best New Music designation from Pitchfork. Jessica Hopper of Pitchfork described Art Angels as "evidence of Boucher's labor and an articulation of a pop vision that is incontrovertibly hers... an epic holiday buffet of tendentious feminist fuck-off, with second helpings for anonymous commenters and music industry blood-suckers".[93]

Art Angels was named best album of the year by NME, Exclaim!, and Stereogum.[94][95][96] It peaked at number 1 on the Billboard US Top Alternative Album Chart[97] and number 2 on the Billboard Top Independent Album chart.[98] Grimes won the 2016 International award at the Socan Annual Awards and the 2016 Harper's Bazaar Musician of the Year Award in October.[99][100]

I got to watch her bully songwriters into signing NDA and not taking credit for songs that they were a part of. She doesn't practice what she preaches."[133]

Grimes responded by saying:

## Artistry

[edit]

### Musical style

[edit]

Grimes at Hard Rock Café Makati in 2013

Grimes' music has been described with a number of labels, including synth-pop, electropop, art pop, indie pop, dream pop, experimental pop, dance-pop, pop, avant-garde pop, lo-fi, dance, witch house, electronic, glo-fi, bedroom pop, and electronica with elements of rock, hip hop, R&B, folk, drum and bass, and classical.[note 1]

According to Vulture, "[Grimes moved away] from the creepy, lo-fi R&B of her early releases to the futuristic dance-pop of her...[third] album, Visions."[258] For her fourth studio, Art Angels, Grimes learned how to play guitar and violin.[247] She stated "I didn't want to play the keys, 'cause I don't want to be considered synth-pop."[247] Rolling Stone described the album as a move away from her "hazy synth-pop toward an off-kilter guitars-and-beats sound", and "uses rock sounds in a really different context".[247] Grimes described her fifth studio album Miss Anthropocene as "mostly ethereal nu metal".[267] The Guardian summarised her musical style: "By sounding a little like everything you've ever heard, the whole sounds like nothing you've ever heard."[268] The Japan Times wrote that Grimes' "otherworldly, Ableton-assisted music is crammed full of hooks fit to sit alongside Rihanna and Taylor Swift in the Top 40".[269] Dazed stated: "In a sense, she'd always thrived on being too pop for indie and too indie for pop".[270] Her lyrics were described by The Guardian as "generally elusive and impressionistic, shying away from specifics".[49] Grimes is a soprano.[271][272][273][274] The Daily Telegraph described her vocals as "sweet, thin and hazy".[275] She utilizes looping and layering techniques, particularly with vocals; many of her songs feature layers of over fifty different vocal tracks which create an "ethereal" sound.[237] Her lyrical themes include science fiction, feminism, and climate change.[265] Her fifth studio album Miss Anthropocene has been considered to be a loose concept album about an "anthropomorphic goddess of climate change" inspired by Roman mythology[276] and villainy.[277] Heather Phares of AllMusic described the album as a "brooding embodiment of climate change".[265] In the single "So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth" she also experimented with AI-generated music using the NSynth neural synthesizer.[277]

Grimes described her music as "ADD music", shifting frequently and dramatically – "I go through phases a lot."[278] She said "Most music with traditional verse, chorus and bridge structures can probably be considered 'pop'. But I think most people think about Top 40 these days when they use the word 'pop', and I'm emphatically not from that world."[269] She said that Panda Bear's 2007 album Person Pitch "jumpstarted" her mind. She explains, "Up until that point I had basically only made weird atonal drone music, with no sense of songwriting. I barely understood anything about music ... But suddenly all music clicked into place and seemed so simple and easy. I was pretty much able to spontaneously write songs immediately after listening to this album once."[279]

### Influences

[edit]

Her work has been likened to various artists, including Björk,[49] Julianna Barwick,[280] Siouxsie Sioux,[280] and Enya.[237] She has stated that she loves British rock bands like Bring Me the Horizon and Foals.[247] She was described by Tastemakers Magazine as an "alien love-child of Aphex Twin and ABBA".[281] While making her third studio album, Grimes was listening to Aphex Twin, Black Dice, Dungeon Family, Michael Jackson, New Edition, Outkast, Nine Inch Nails, Burial, TLC, Mariah Carey and stated "I'm into the really caustic beats, the kind of sharp drum and bass kind of stuff. Really nice vocals too, with lots of tight harmonies at the same time."[258]

Grimes cites Blink-182 as an influence in her Amoeba Records "What's In My Bag?" episode where she picked one of their live DVDs.[282] Grimes considers Blue Hawaii "a big part of [her] family in Montreal".[283] Grimes stated that Cocteau Twins[284] are "one of the first bands I was into that was considered alternative". In a tweet, Grimes replied to someone saying that her recent influences were Chris Isaak, St. Vincent, and Mindless Self Indulgence.[285] The theories of her second studio album, Halfaxa were inspired by Hildegard of Bingen.[286]

Before releasing her fourth studio album, Art Angels, Grimes described one of her upcoming songs as a glam rock track inspired by David Bowie and Queen.[285] Art Angels was also influenced by Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and The Godfather movies.[287] Grimes said that while touring with How to Dress Well, his song "Suicide Dream 2" "made me tear up every night... [and] after this tour I got really re-inspired, went home, and immediately wrote [songs that] are, in my opinion, the best shit I've ever done."[283] Early on, Grimes stated that "an early diet of the Spice Girls, Marilyn Manson, OutKast and Skinny Puppy drove her to build pop songs out of the harsher sonic textures she rarely heard on the radio."[288] Some of her other influences include Jedi Mind Tricks,[289] Kenji Kawai,[290] Yoko Kanno,[290] Alicia Keys,[291] Christina Aguilera,[292] Panda Bear,[39][291] Bikini Kill,[39] Kate Bush,[293] Al Green,[291][294] Salem,[291] Trent Reznor,[295][296] Tool,[279] Yeah Yeah Yeahs,[279] Beyoncé,[297] and Paramore.[298]

### Visual art

[edit]

Grimes designs her album art for all of her albums, gig fliers, comic book covers,[299] and merchandise.[300] She has done exhibitions showcasing her works and has stated that "[she has] always been a visual artist".[299] Her art is influenced by Japanese anime, manga, and comic artists such as Charles Burns and Daniel Clowes.[301] Her illustrations have appeared in gallery shows, including at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.[302] She created an alternate cover for Image Comics' The Wicked + The Divine,[303][304][305] and designed a capsule collection of t-shirts for Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent, in 2013.[306][307] That year, she also curated a two-day event at the Audio Visual Arts Gallery in New York City with a silent auction to benefit the Native Women's Association of Canada's campaign to raise awareness of violence against aboriginal women in Canada.[308][309] In early 2021, she sold original digital art in the form of non-fungible tokens for $5.8 million.[310][311] In May 2022, she said on Twitter she was joining the board of Unicorn DAO, "to help their mission to fund/ develop female and non-binary lead [sic] art and projects". [312] [313]

## Personal life

[edit]

Grimes's brother Mac Boucher has played a role in creating a number of her music videos including "Violence", "Go", "Realiti", and "Venus Fly", among others.[314] She and her stepbrother, who raps under the name Jay Worthy, collaborated on the single "Christmas Song", released on the Rough Trade bonus disc of her Visions album.[315][316]

In 2009, Grimes and a friend attempted to travel down the Mississippi River to New Orleans from Minneapolis in a houseboat they built.[317] Following several mishaps, including engine trouble and encounters with law enforcement, the houseboat was impounded by the city of Minneapolis. Grimes claims that elements of the story were exaggerated in the newspapers that reported on it at the time.[318] The adventure has been turned into an animated video narrated by T Bone Burnett.[319]

Grimes has been open about her past drug use, revealing intense periods during the creation of her third album Visions in 2012, during which she "blacked out the windows and did tons of amphetamine and stayed up for three weeks and didn't eat anything".[56] In 2014, she wrote a blog post expressing her aversion to hard drugs.[320][321]

Grimes embraces her distinctive lisp[322][323][324] and has expressed no desire for speech therapy to alter it.[325] Grimes has said that she is autistic, saying she was previously misdiagnosed with restless legs syndrome and schizoaffective disorder. She described personal motor-skill issues when "[she] went to check [her] kids and performed worse than them on every test".[326]

Frequently identified as a feminist musician during her early career, Grimes expressed frustration with this in 2015 by stating that it "really genders [her]" in a way that she does not identify with, adding that she does not relate strongly to female gender identity. Earlier that year, she had posted on Twitter: "I vibe in a gender-neutral space so I'm kinda impartial to pronouns."[327][328] In 2018, she made another post on the platform stating that she is "personally put off by the word 'woman' at least as far as my self id" and, in 2021, she called herself "female-ish".[328] In June 2023 she told an interviewer, "I kinda like the patriarchy," saying "a lot of good things came from it." She went on to clarify She said: "I think it's sort of oppressive and overly dominant, and if you don't include women in things they can easily become toxic, you know."[329]

In 2023, after members of the r/grimezs subreddit documented her affiliations with far-right figures, Grimes responded, "I'm called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture." She added that she wished to "emphasize the incredible accomplishments of others ... whilst allowing pride for white ppl accomplishments as well".[330] She also stated, "Every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great".[331][332] The statement attracted widespread media criticism, with Halima Jibril writing for Dazed that Grimes was using "the same tiresome rhetoric white people have used for centuries while they oppress people of colour, reminding her critics that we should 'love each other'".[332] She later attended far-right blogger Curtis Yarvin's wedding.[333] In January 2025, Grimes attended a party in Washington, D.C., alongside Yarvin, to celebrate the second inauguration of Donald Trump.[334]

Grimes has been accused of abusing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and "bullying". In 2018, fellow singer Poppy stated that she "got to watch her bully songwriters into signing NDA[s]". Poppy's former creative director Titanic Sinclair posted a screenshot to Instagram in 2023 with a caption saying, "I think bullying your ghostwriters into NDAs and never paying them is wrong".[335]

### Relationships

[edit]

From 2007 to 2010, Grimes was in an on-and-off relationship with Devon Welsh, then lead vocalist of Majical Cloudz.[336] The two met in 2007 at a first-year dorm party while studying at McGill University.[336] From 2012 to 2018, Grimes was in a relationship with electronic musician Jaime Brooks,[337] who supported her on the Visions Tour performing as Elite Gymnastics.[338][339]

In 2018, Grimes began a relationship with business magnate Elon Musk.[340] They met after discovering on Twitter that they had both independently made the same pun, relating to Rococo and the thought experiment Roko's basilisk.[341] In May 2020, Grimes gave birth to their son.[342][343] Musk and Grimes originally gave the baby the name "X Æ A-12", which would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet,[344][345] which they then changed to "X Æ A-Xii".[346][347] They have received criticism for choosing a name perceived to be impractical and difficult to pronounce.[348] In 2021, they had a daughter via surrogacy.[349][350] According to Grimes, Go Won of the South Korean girl group Loossemble (with whom she collaborated in 2018) is her eldest son's godmother.[351]

Grimes and Musk "semi-separated" in September 2021.[352] In January 2022, Grimes said of Musk: "I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we're very fluid."[13] Despite fluctuating relationship statuses, in March 2022 Grimes described Musk as her "best friend and the love of my life".[353] In September 2023, it was reported that the couple had another son.[354][355] Later that month, Grimes sued Musk over parental rights to their children in a California court. Musk allegedly fought to keep the hearing closed, asking for the documents to be sealed.[356][357][358][359]

Since March 2024, Grimes has been in a relationship with American DJ Anyma.[360][361] In early 2025, after Musk was accused of performing a Nazi salute during Donald Trump's second inauguration, Grimes denounced Nazism and the "far alt-right" under intense pressure from her fans.[362][363][364] In February 2025, she criticised Musk for bringing their eldest son, X Æ A-Xii, to public events after he was photographed and filmed in the Oval Office.[365][366]
