Anna Phoebe

Anna Phoebe is a composer, producer, performer and broadcaster whose work sits at the intersection of classical, electronic, and experimental music. Known for her visceral, violin-led soundscapes she creates bold, emotionally charged music in the studio and from the stage drawing from both the natural world and cutting-edge technology. Whether through solo albums, film scores or her powerhouse live shows, Anna’s work connects audiences through sound, storytelling and atmosphere.
​
Her latest solo album, Divergence (24 October 2025) is an anthology of sonic explorations with each piece rooted in the human experience. Anna has composed, performed, and produced a deeply personal, striking exploration of mortality, memory, and spiritual transformation. Many tracks from the album were conceived for live, site-specific environments and later translated to the studio. Following the success of a sell-out solo UK tour in 2024, Anna will be performing her solo Divergence tour in 2025 and 2026.
​
Her solo albums Sea Souls and Sea Souls (Live) have been described as dialogues between the sea and the psyche, though really they are love letters — to weather, to loss, to the shifting tectonics of emotion.
In her collaborations — whether as half of the duo AVAWAVES, or sharing stages with Mary Anne Hobbs — she moves easily between worlds: cinematic, classical, ambient and electronic. Anna builds bridges, not genres.

"The most mercurial musician taking the violin into thrilling new terrain."— Mary Anne Hobbs
​
A compelling live performer, Anna is as equally comfortable performing live beneath the Pyramids of Giza as she is performing in arenas across America as she is nightclub in Beirut. She continues to evolve her sonic installation work in the UK with recent standout performances at the Royal Albert Hall, Glastonbury Festival, Manchester International Festival and the O2 Arena.
​
If you’ve heard her on BBC Radio 4’s Add to Playlist, co-hosting alongside Jeffrey Boakye, you’ll know her for her warmth, curiosity and instinctive ability to map unexpected connections between sounds, ideas, people. Millions tune in weekly, drawn to the unlikely chemistry of Bach and Beyoncé, Stravinsky and Skepta.
​
Her music has underscored everything from Apple TV+ dramas to documentaries on Channel 4 and ITV, and been championed across BBC 6 Music, Radio 3 and KEXP.
​
At the heart of Anna’s work is the idea of unravelling — not as retreat, but as resistance. Her music opens a space to strip back the noise, to cut beneath the surface. It’s not about soothing. It’s about returning to something raw, and letting it speak.
