Anika aka Annika Henderson is a hybrid artist: author, composer, musician, DJ, photographer, radio presenter and video director. Her experimental sound collages, confrontational texts and unique style of live solo performance have earned the former journalist a reputation in the electronic music scene, allowing her to collaborate with artists such as Gudrun Gut and Beate Bartel (Malaria!, Liaisons Dangereuses), Tricky, Jim Jarmusch, Shackleton and the Soundwalk Kollektiv. She interweaves dub, post-punk and psychedelic with a hint of drum and bass and a strong emphasis on voice. Henderson's breakthrough came in 2010 with the release of the iconic, experimental LP “Anika” (Stones Throw/Invada), which she recorded with the band Beak> from Bristol. One of her best-known songs is “I Go To Sleep”, a cover version of The Kinks' 1965 classic. The debut was followed in 2021 by the hopeful pop indie album “Change”, a video art experiment called “Anika - Alone In The City” in collaboration with the n.b.k gallery in Berlin and the psychedelic guitar and synth-driven live album “Eat Liquid” (live recording from the Zeiss Planetarium, Berlin 2023).
