Anna Graves

A singer and songwriter inclined toward inward-looking themes, Anna Graves crafts a subtle mix of rustic string arrangements, melodic pop hooks, and unfiltered self-examination. She refined that combination across multiple tracks throughout 2023 before attracting wider notice the following year when the unadorned charm of “Made to Love Someone” surpassed a million streams.

Born in Minnesota, Graves spent her childhood on a horse farm in the countryside beyond Minneapolis. She first pursued a career by relocating to Nashville and later to Los Angeles, only to return to her home state in 2023. That homecoming aligned with the arrival of her first single, “Easy for You,” issued by Island Records and quickly succeeded by “In the Wild,” a track shaped by her time on the West Coast.

In the first months of 2024 she unveiled “Made to Love Someone,” previewing it on social platforms ahead of its February launch and thereby accumulating more than a million streams across services. Building on that momentum, she followed with “Fly” and “When the Love Is Gone” before issuing her debut EP, Solstice.
