Annie O’Malley is an artist who feels that the most valuable and impactful way to create art is by drawing inspiration from self-reflecting on life experiences. Growing up in a small town outside of Chicago and now living in Los Angeles, music has been at the center of her life since she was a child. Identifying with a self-branded genre of Temper Tantrum Pop with singer-songwriter elements, her lyrics are raw and they are telling. Growing up in a school environment that fostered feelings of unworthiness in those who weren't deemed “smart enough,” Annie has found strength in “misspelling” song titles and lyrics as a way to heal and validate her inner child while simultaneously showing others that there is no wrong way to create art. Annie’s mission is to show the people told they were too sensitive or overly emotional that their sensitivity is their superpower and to not run from it but to run towards it. Lean into it, befriend it. Annie’s discography reads as a journey and it’s one that her listeners have followed since she started releasing singles in 2018. Her versatility has shown through the likes of two tours on either end of the musical spectrum; one with the 1970’s progressive rock band, Chicago, and the other with 28-year-old rapper, Phora. Her debut album, Skrapbook, was released in 2022 and it encapsulated her story to that moment in time. It was followed by her melodramatic EP, The Koldest Season, and will be succeeded by a sophomore album in the Spring of 2024.
