Antony and the Johnsons

Antony and the Johnsons (currently known as ANOHNI and the Johnsons) are a Mercury Prize-winning music act from New York City, New York, United States. The band is fronted by Anohni who was born in 1971. During the mid 90s Anohni started solo; after originally producing songs with Blacklips Performance Cult and other late-night cabarets she had a number of songs to work with. In 1995 she assembled a backing group—the self-styled Antony and the Johnsons—and began to focus on the musical side of her performances.
