Childhood: Anna Calvi was born in Twickenham, England to a pair of therapists. She was born with a problem with one of her hips which led to her spending a large amount of her first three years in hospital. At the age of six, she began learning to play the violin and at the age of eight, she began playing the guitar. She began to experiment more with her music in later years, and was working on overdubbing at the age of 10. She studied violin and guitar at the University of Southampton, graduating in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music.
Career: Calvi worked as a guitar teacher after her graduation in order to raise money to begin her music career in 2010. She began performing with a small band named Cheap Hotel, although after one single, the band broke apart. After gaining a new drummer and an additional instrumentalist, Calvi began recording various musical covers as attic sessions. After gaining a small following, Calvi released her debut solo single, 'Jezebel' in in October 2010. The single was a cover of the 1951 Wayne Shanklin song. The following year, Calvi released her self-titled debut album under the Domino record label. Her début album saw critical acclaim and Calvi began work on her second studio in 2013. 'One Breath' was released three years after Calvi's début album, and saw mass critical acclaim, averaging four stars or 8/10 from most critics. In the following year, Calvi released her first EP, entitled 'Strange Weather'. The July 2014 EP was composed of a collection of cover songs recorded in New York. While the reviews were favourable, it saw noticeably lower scores than Calvi's first two albums.
