- Birth nameAnna Margaret Michelle Calvi
- Anna Calvi is known for The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015), The Souvenir (2019) and The Tournament (2015).
- Her mother is English and her father is Italian. Both of her parents are therapists.
- She is a classically trained violinist.
- She first picked up the violin at 6, and guitar at 8.
- I'm attracted to the impressionistic element of the music.
- I wanted the record [Hunter] to feel really raw. I wanted the voice and guitar to really embody that feeling of freedom.
- I want to go beyond gender. I don't want to have to choose between the male and female in me. I'm fighting against feeling an outsider and trying to find a place that feels like home.
- Red summons to me the idea of flesh and blood and danger. It very much sums up the colour of the record [Hunter]. It's more visceral, less cerebral. It's animalistic.
- Our culture is so saturated with ideas of women being hunted by men. I wanted to give a new narrative of the woman as a hunter who goes out and takes whatever she wants. I wanted my voice to be this wild force because often as a woman you're told to be nice and quiet and smile.
