Anna Kaneelina is an Estonian singer-songwriter whose music drifts between raw vulnerability and haunting strength.
Her self-titled debut album (2019) was a defining moment, an unexpected shift that announced her arrival as a singular force. The album swept the 2020 Estonian Music Awards, earning Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Alternative/Indie Album of the Year, and Debut Album of the Year. But Anna's rise was never about an instant explosion—it was a slow burn, years in the making. Before stepping into the spotlight, she performed alongside her husband, acclaimed composer and guitarist Erki Pärnoja, before choosing to carve her own path. Anna Kaneelina’s music defies simple categorization. It carries echoes of 70s folk-rock à la Jefferson Airplane, the otherworldly mystique of Kate Bush, the visceral intensity of PJ Harvey, and the aching drama of Angel Olsen. But she doesn’t imitate—she reshapes familiar sounds into something wholly her own, a sound both dark and intoxicating.
Her latest release, Better Man, continues her evolution, exploring themes of transformation, resilience, and the courage to choose love even in the hardest moments. Whether in an intimate acoustic setting or commanding a full stage, Anna Kaneelina doesn’t just perform—she pulls you into her world, where fragility and power walk hand in hand.
