Anne Erin Clark (born September 28, 1982), known professionally asSt. Vincent, is an American musician, singer and songwriter. Her guitar-playing has been praised for its melodic style and use of distortion, and she has been listed among the best guitarists of the 21st century by publications.[1][2]Rolling Stone named Clark the 26th-greatest guitarist of all time in 2023.[3]
Raised inDallas, St. Vincent began her music career as a member ofchoral rock bandthe Polyphonic Spree. She was also a member ofSufjan Stevens' touring band before forming her own band in 2006. Her debut solo studio album,Marry Me, was released in 2007; it was followed byActor (2009) andStrange Mercy (2011). In 2012, St. Vincent releasedLove This Giant, an album made in collaboration withDavid Byrne ofTalking Heads. Her fourth studio album,St. Vincent (2014), received widespread acclaim from critics and was named album of the year bySlant Magazine,NME,The Guardian andEntertainment Weekly. She collaborated with producer and songwriterJack Antonoff for her albumsMasseduction (2017) andDaddy's Home (2021) and self-produced her seventh studio albumAll Born Screaming (2024).
St. Vincent producedSleater-Kinney's ninth studio albumThe Center Won't Hold (2019) and co-wroteTaylor Swift'sBillboard Hot 100 number-one single "Cruel Summer". She also directed a segment in the horror anthology filmXX (2017), and co-wrote and starred in the psychological thriller filmThe Nowhere Inn (2020). Her accolades include sixGrammy Awards, three of which are forBest Alternative Music Album, tying the record for wins in that category.
Clark was born inTulsa, Oklahoma, on September 28, 1982, to Sharon Christine and Richard "Rick" Clark.[4][5][6][7][8] Her mother is a social worker and administrator for a nonprofit organization, and her stepfather works in corporate tax administration. Her parents divorced when she was 3, and when she was 7, she moved with her mother and two older sisters toDallas, Texas. She has said that a23andMe DNA test revealed her ancestry to be 80% Irish and 20%Ashkenazi Jewish, via one of her grandmothers.[9][10] Clark was raisedCatholic[11] andUnitarian Universalist.[12]
Clark has four brothers and four sisters from her parents' blended families.[13][14]
As a child, Clark was fond ofRitchie Valens and the movieLa Bamba. When she was five, her mother gave her a red plastic guitar from aTarget store for Christmas. She began playing her first real guitar at age 12, taking classes with Tony Hyatt, a local guitar shop employee,[15] and worked some of her teenage years as a roadie for her aunt and uncle, the guitar-vocal jazz duoTuck & Patti.[16][17] In 2001, she graduated fromLake Highlands High School, where she participated in theater and the school's jazz band, and was a classmate of actorMark Salling.[18][19]
She attended theBerklee College of Music inBoston, Massachusetts, studying with professor Lauren Passarelli. She left after three years, feeling that art institutions such as Berklee were sometimes focused more on the aesthetics of art than the product.[20] In retrospect, she said, "I think that with music school and art school, or school in any form, there has to be some system of grading and measurement. The things they can teach you are quantifiable. While all that is good and has its place, at some point you have to learn all you can and then forget everything that you learned in order to actually start making music."[21]

In 2003, Clark released anEP with fellow Berklee students entitledRatsliveonnoevilstar.[22] She also worked with Heavy Rotation Records, where "she revealed a much more private and intimate rendering of 'Count' forDorm Sessions Vol. 1"[23] and studied with professor of guitar Lauren Passarelli. Shortly after leaving Berklee, she returned home to Texas, where she joinedthe Polyphonic Spree just before they embarked on a European tour.[16] In 2004, she joinedGlenn Branca's 100-guitar orchestra for the Queens performance,[24] and she was also briefly in anoise rock band called the Skull Fuckers.[25][26][27] Clark left the Polyphonic Spree and joinedSufjan Stevens' touring band in 2006. During this period, she recorded and released an EP titledParis Is Burning (2006).
In 2006, she began recording a studio album under the stage name St. Vincent. In an interview onThe Colbert Report, she said that she "took [her] moniker from a line in aNick Cave song" that referred to the hospital whereDylan Thomas died: "And Dylan Thomas died drunk in /St. Vincent's hospital" (from Cave's song "There She Goes, My Beautiful World", from the 2004 albumAbattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus). The name is also a reference to her great-grandmother, whose middle name was St. Vincent.[28] Clark released her debut album,Marry Me, on July 10, 2007, onBeggars Banquet Records. The album was named after a line from the television sitcomArrested Development.[29]
The album was well received by critics, who compared Clark to the likes ofKate Bush and David Bowie[30] and lauded the album for its arrangements, themes and style. In their review,The A.V. Club said: "There's a point where too much happiness turns into madness, and St. Vincent's multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark knows this place well".[31]Pitchfork said, "At every turnMarry Me takes the more challenging route of twisting already twisted structures and unusual instrumentation to make them sound perfectly natural and, most importantly, easy to listen to as she overdubs her thrillinglysui generis vision into vibrant life."[30] The songs onMarry Me were written largely when Clark was 18 and 19, and, she says, "represented a more idealized version of what life was or what love was or anything in the eyes of someone who hadn't really experienced anything".[21] The album yielded one single, "Paris Is Burning", and a music video was produced for "Jesus Saves, I Spend".

In 2008, Clark was nominated for threePLUG Independent Music Awards: New Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Music Video of the Year. On March 6, 2008, she won the PLUG Female Artist of the Year award.[32] After returning to New York from a lengthy tour, Clark began working on her second album. Her inspiration reportedly came from several films, includingDisney movies: "Well, the truth is that I had come back from a pretty long — you know, about a year-and-a-half of touring, and so my brain was sort of all circuit boards that were a little bit fried", Clark said. "So I started watching films as sort of a way to get back into being human. And then it started to just really inform the entire record."[33] Clark, who did not have a studio at the time, began writing the album in her apartment on her computer usingGarageBand andMIDI, because she had gotten noise complaints from neighbors.[34] The songs were inspired largely by scenes from various children's films. Clark said she imagined soundtracks for certain scenes in films when writing the music and lyrics,[34] including scenes inSnow White (1937) andThe Wizard of Oz (1939).
Her second album,Actor, was released by 4AD Records on May 5, 2009.[35] It was also well received and gained more commercial attention than its predecessor.[21]Spin gave the album eight out of ten stars, noting its "[juxtaposition of] the cruel and the kind, and here, the baroque arrangements are even more complex and her voice even prettier, with both only underlining the dark currents running through her songs".[36]Entertainment Weekly said the album "plays up the contrasts, [with Clark] letting her church-choir voice linger on lyrics that hint darkly at themes of violence, sex, and general chaos", and branded it "a uniquely potent cocktail of sounds and moods".[37]Actor charted well for an independent release, peaking at No. 9 onBillboard'sIndependent Albums chart, No. 5 on the Tastemaker Albums chart,[38] and No. 90 on theBillboard 200. Although it spawned no singles (except in the UK, where "Actor Out of Work" was issued as a 7" vinyl single), music videos for "Marrow" and "Actor Out of Work" were released, and aired on several music channels. A promotional music video for "Laughing with a Mouth of Blood", featuringPortlandia'sFred Armisen andCarrie Brownstein (then of ThunderAnt), was also filmed.
Two soundtracks forThe Twilight Saga have featured Clark's songs. "Rosyln", in collaboration withindie folk bandBon Iver, appeared on the 2009 soundtrack ofNew Moon; and "The Antidote" was written for and appeared on 2012'sBreaking Dawn – Part 2. In November 2010, Clark appeared with American rappersKid Cudi andCage onLate Night with Jimmy Fallon. They performed "Maniac" from Cudi'sMan on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, which prominently samples "The Strangers", the opening song onActor.[39]
Clark spent much of her time inSeattle writing her third album,Strange Mercy, in October 2010. In an interview withJulie Klausner forSpin magazine, she recalled: "[Death Cab for Cutie drummer]Jason McGerr had an office that was closing. He offered me the space for a month, for all of October. I was alone. I stayed at the Ace Hotel downtown, in one of the rooms with a shared bathroom. I would just get up in the morning and caffeinate, and run, and go to the studio for 12 hours, come back, eat dinner alone with a book, have a glass of wine, and go to bed. And do it all over again."[40] On January 12, 2011, Clark announced viaTwitter that she was working onStrange Mercy, a follow-up toActor.[41][non-primary source needed] In early March 2011, producerJohn Congleton, who also worked with Clark onActor, said that he and Clark were nearly a third of the way through recording it.[42]
On July 4, Clark stated via Twitter that if enough followers tweeted thehashtag "#strangemercy", she would release a track from the album. On July 22, after the threshold was met, she released "Surgeon" for download and streaming on her official website.[43] In August 2011, Clark was interviewed and featured on the cover ofSpin magazine.[44] On August 24, 2011, a music video was released for the song "Cruel", and on September 5, the entire album was put up for streaming onNPR Music.[45] On August 25, 2011, she debutedStrange Mercy in the Temple of Dendur room at theMetropolitan Museum of Art in New York City,[46] introducingToko Yasuda (ex-Enon),Matt Johnson, and Daniel Mintseris as members of her live band. The album was released September 13, 2011.[47]
Strange Mercy received widespread acclaim frommusic critics. It achieved an overall rating of 8.1/10 at[48] AnyDecentMusic? based on 36 reviews. It was St. Vincent's highest-charting album yet, peaking at No. 19 on the USBillboard 200.[49] Clark stated, "I don't think it's the best record I'll ever make, but I think it's a good record."[50] She began touring the US and Europe in support of the record in the fall of 2011 and continued a worldwide tour throughout 2012.[citation needed]
In 2011, Clark composed "Proven Badlands", an instrumental piece based on "The Sequel" from her sophomore releaseActor, for ensemble Music's albumBeautiful Mechanical.[51] In 2012, Clark was featured onAndrew Bird's albumBreak It Yourself singing on "Lusitania". On June 14, 2012, "Who", the first single from her collaboration withDavid Byrne, formerly ofTalking Heads, was released. The single came from their albumLove This Giant, which was released September 11, 2012.[52][53] On September 18, 2012, Clark participated in the "30 Songs / 30 Days" campaign to supportHalf the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, a multiplatform project inspired byNicholas Kristof andSheryl WuDunn's bestselling book.[54] Clark also provided guest vocals for the song "What's the Use of Won'drin'" on the albumWho Killed Amanda Palmer fromAmanda Palmer, ofthe Dresden Dolls.[55]

On May 28, 2013, David Byrne and St. Vincent releasedBrass Tactics, which includes a previously unreleasedLove This Giant bonus track, two remixes, and two live tracks.[56] In November 2013, Clark received the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award for Performing Arts[57] and signed toLoma Vista Recordings.[58] The new label released "Birth in Reverse" the following month, the first single from Clark's fourth album,St. Vincent,[59] The second single, "Digital Witness", was released in January 2014,[60] and the album was released the next month to critical acclaim.[61] A number of publications, includingThe Guardian,Entertainment Weekly,NME,Gigwise, andMusicOMH, ranked it as the No. 1 album of 2014, whileTime put it at No. 2 andRolling Stone ranked it No. 4. Clark received her firstGrammy, asSt Vincent won "Best Alternative Music Album" in February 2015.[62]

A profile inThe New York Times after the album's release noted: "Seven albums and 17 years into an acclaimed solo career, Clark has eked out a singular space in music, occasionally intersecting with the mainstream but for the most part staying uncompromisingly countercultural", labeling tracks from the new release "some of the heaviest, darkest and weirdest St. Vincent music to date. 'That’s what I want from music right now, personally,' Clark said, safe in the shade of the California sun. 'I would like a pummeling. I want something to feel dangerous'".[102]
On November 15, 2024, St. Vincent released a Spanish-language version ofAll Born Screaming entitledTodos Nacen Gritando.[103] In an interview prior toTodos Nacen Gritando's release, Clark said that translating and recording the album was "a beautiful exercise and an attempt to offer a little thanks to Spanish-language fans who have met me in my native tongue for seven records".[104]

On September 3, 2025, St. Vincent performed on theBBC Proms alongsideJules Buckley and his orchestra, marking the final date of her All Born Screaming Tour.[106]
Clark’s music, which features hermezzo-soprano voice,[107][108][109] has been noted for its wide array of instruments and complex arrangements, as well as itspolysemous lyrics, which have been described as teetering between "happiness and madness".[31] In response, Clark has said, "I like when things come out of nowhere and blindside you a little bit. I think any person who getspanic attacks or has ananxiety disorder can understand how things can all of a sudden turn very quickly. I think I'm sublimating that into the music."[21] In addition to guitar, Clark also plays bass, piano, organ, andtheremin. Her music also often features violins, cellos, flutes, trumpets, clarinets, and other instruments.[110] Her musical style has been characterised as rock,[111][112] pop,[113][114]art rock[115][113] andindie rock,[116][117] incorporating a wide range of influences includingexperimental rock,chamber pop,electropop,soft rock, andcabaretjazz.[34][118]
Clark mentioned that singers such asDavid Bowie andKate Bush had inspired her,[119] as hadJimi Hendrix andSiouxsie and the Banshees.[120] She said in a 2015 lecture she listens to a Bowie track every day, and that"It's No Game (Part One)" was her favorite.[121]Talking Heads,Metallica,Nine Inch Nails,[122]Patti Smith andPink Floyd are also influences,[123] as well as guitaristsRobert Fripp andAdrian Belew (both fromKing Crimson),[124]Marc Ribot andTool.[125] Clark cited the authorLorrie Moore as an inspiration forSt Vincent.[126]

Clark has played a 1967Harmony Bobkat, 1960'sSilvertone 1488, 1979Hagström Super Swede, andFender Deluxe NashvilleTelecaster.[127] In recent years, she has primarily played her signature Ernie Ball Music Man St. Vincent guitar.
In March 2016,Ernie Ball announced that Clark had designed a signatureMusic Man guitar.[128] Unique to the guitar was the design, whichWelsh singerCate Le Bon claimed inThe Guardian as being made for women's bodies and providing pleasing aesthetic form in support of the guitar's function.[129] However, Clark has since stated that the guitar being specifically for women was not a consideration during the design process.[130][131]
It was originally released in 2016 as the St. Vincent HHH with threemini-humbuckers in a signature Vincent Blue finish, a paint color which Clark herself had personally hand-mixed and selected, as well as in Black.[132][133]
In 2017, four additional colors were added to the guitar line, Polaris White, Heritage Red, Tobacco Burst, and Stealth Black. 2017 was also the last year to feature a solidrosewood neck and fingerboard, due to heavy rosewood trade restrictions underCITES, later models would primarily use a roasted maple neck with ebony fingerboard.[134][135] A St. Vincent HH signature model was released in 2018 featuring twohumbuckers in place of the three mini-humbuckers on the original.[136]
In 2021, a new St. Vincent Goldie signature model was released, featuring threegold foil mini-humbucker pickups, a reverse matching finish headstock, redesigned pickguard shape in 3-ply parchment, a roasted maple neck, and stainless steel frets.[137][138]
Notable users of the guitar includeJack White, who used the three pickup version during every performance of hisBoarding House Reach tour in 2018,Todd Tamanend Clark,Tom Morello,J Mascis, Les Priest ofLANY, Eva Hendricks ofCharly Bliss,Emily Roberts ofThe Last Dinner Party, andDan Boeckner ofWolf Parade.[139][140][141][142][143][144]
Clark divides her time between Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York City.[145] A 2014Village Voice profile describes her as a private person.David Byrne, with whom she collaborated and toured, said of her: "Despite having toured with her for almost a year, I don't think I know her much better, at least not on a personal level... Mystery is not a bad thing for a beautiful, talented young woman (or man) to embrace. And she does it without seeming to be standoffish or distant."[146]
When asked during a 2014 interview withRolling Stone whether she identified as gay or straight, Clark responded: "I don't think about those words. I believe ingender fluidity andsexual fluidity. I don't really identify as anything. I think you can fall in love with anybody. I don't have anything to hide but I'd rather the emphasis be on music."[147] Later that year, in an interview with the UK'sSunday Times, she elaborated: "I'm not one for gender or sexual absolutism in the main; I fully support and engage inthe spectrum."[148] In 2024, she stated that she identifies asqueer.[149] In the same year, during an interview with Vera Siemons, Clark referred to herself as alesbian.[150] Clark was in a relationship with the actress and fashion modelCara Delevingne from late 2014 until mid-2016.[151] Clark briefly dated the actressKristen Stewart in late 2016.[152] In a 2020 article, theLos Angeles Times noted that she andSleater-Kinney'sCarrie Brownstein "dated years ago".[153] While accepting aGrammy Award in 2025, she revealed she has a wife named Leah as well as a daughter.[154]
In May 2010, Clark's father was convicted of one count of conspiracy, seven counts of wire fraud, five counts of securities fraud, and one count of money laundering.[155] The albumDaddy's Home was in part inspired by her father's eventual release.[156]
