Singer, songwriter, rapper Anella Herim was raised in Trinity, North Carolina, where he was born on Nov. 22, 2001. His father worked in the church as the worship leader and with his encouragement, Anella started playing drums at age four. By the time he entered his freshman year of high school, Anella had joined the chorus and discovered the GarageBand app. He began recording his own music at home using just his iPhone and headphones. Working a typical job was unfulfilling to the emerging young artist, so he started turning his talent into income by playing at local bars and restaurants.
In early 2020, while playing at the Boxbar Arcade in Greensboro, Anella was approached by Malik Clark of Definitely Out Grinding Records (D.O.G Records). By July, Malik had signed up Anella to perform at the No Stress Fest in Winston-Salem. There he first met DJ ESudd, and the two started working together soon after. “I feel Anella is a breath of fresh air to the world,” said DJ ESudd. “Not only is the music soul touching but his personality is also amazing.”
At least 90% of Anella’s music is self-produced, but he has also worked on records with good friend Kamen Della (KD Got Tha Vibes), and mega producer D.A. Got That Dope. “My music is relatable,” says Anella, “pleasing and at times, it can be indescribable. I just want to touch people with my music.” Anella, who partnered with Def Jam Recordings in June 2022, is now doing music full time. But he also enjoys hanging out with friends, who are part of his creative process, and traveling especially when it is to perform for fans. With his undeniable talent, insane work ethic, and a solid team around him, Anella Herim is ready to take on the world.
