Brittany Anjou is a Brooklyn based composer, vocalist, and piano focused multi-instrumentalist. Exploring everything from Duke Ellington to Bikini Kill in her repertoire, this creative, versatile, and virtuoso performer hails from Seattle and loves being on the road. She has just released the critically acclaimed Enamiĝo Reciprokataj via Origin Records. The album has reached 144 on the Jazz Week Top 300 chart and is getting radio airplay nationally and internationally. Anjou is one of a few to study, record and tour music with godmothers of punk, The Shaggs. She has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Wynton Marsalis, Ernestine Anderson, Clark Terry and Elysian Fields. When she isn't playing jazz, she fronts five piece death metal band Bi TYRANT on vocals, songs of which she often circulates into her solo and trio shows as a pianist, keyboardist and vibraphonist. She ties together jazz standards, Shaggs covers, political comedy, and rants about bad psychic dreams, daily anxiety, and forever saving Planned Parenthood.

“Hers is a music about music, a jazz about jazz.” – Charles Mudede, The Stranger, Seattle

Praise for Enamiĝo Reciprokataj:

"While we've barely opened the door to 2019, we already have a serious contender for the year's strongest debut here.”
All About Jazz

"This album, so highly sophisticated with an original jazz perspective, is a roaring introduction that demands attention."
Amazon

"She's happy to lay waste to the instrument when that's what's called for : "Reciprokataj IV: Olive You" begins with a display of power that would mark the summit of most players performances."
Down Beat Magazine

“Anjou’s composition are read as a series of points of view on the art of the trio. It is an anthology of songs both dreamlike and alert, where free-jazz meets Rachmaninoff and electronics.”
France Musique

“Anjou is a virtuosa with a determined touch and nimble liveliness. This accomplished body of work, which took 13 years to be completed, is sufficiently gratifying to make us wonder what her next plans are.”
