Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Annie Clark (born 28 September, 1982) is an American multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter who performs under the moniker St. Vincent. She was a member of The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens’ touring band. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, she began playing the guitar at the age of 12 and as a teenager worked as the tour manager for her uncle’s band Tuck & Patti. She grew up in Dallas and attended Lake Highlands High School, graduating in 2001. Following this, she went on to attend Berklee College of Music, dropping out 3 years later. Soon after this, she joined The Polyphonic Spree. In 2003, during her time at Berklee, she released an EP with fellow students, entitled RatsLiveOnNoEvilStar.

Clark joined Sufjan Stevens’ touring band in 2006, bringing with her a tour EP entitled Paris Is Burning. It contains three tracks, including a cover version of Jackson Browne’s These Days.

Clark released her debut album, Marry Me, 10 July, 2007 on Beggars Banquet Records. Named after a line from the cult-hit television show Arrested Development, the LP features appearances from drummer Brian Teasley (Man or Astro-Man?, The Polyphonic Spree), Mike Garson (David Bowie’s longtime pianist), and horn player Louis Schwadron (The Polyphonic Spree).

In 2008 Clark was nominated for three PLUG Independent Music Awards: New Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Music Video of the Year, and on 6 March 2008, she won the Female Artist of the Year award.

Her second album for 4AD, entitled Actor, was released on 5 May, 2009. It was written entirely by Clark and produced by Clark and John Congleton of The pAper chAse.

    she seems like the kind of artist who just creates and does what she loves and doesn't actually think 'i'm amazing, i am', but she is amazing. her music, it all feels so wonderfully real and made in a fluidly beautiful way and each album different too, which seems to echo that, its a dream. i await new things eagerly.

    Isn't this her second tour with David? I mean, I like what they did together, but I'm dying of anticipation over what she's got coming next. I saw her when she was touring for Strange Mercy and it was honestly one of the best concerts I've ever been to... her performance was stellar and the energy was insane. If that "Krokodil"/"Grot" single was indicative of what's ahead for her, I'm bursting at the seams for her next album and tour.

    Kind of makes me sad that she's dedicating this entire year to her and David Byrne. I want new St. Vincent music!

    Finally listening to Marry Me for the first time -- I love how all her albums differ greatly from one another, while all still sharing some distinctive stylistic similarities.
