Grimes named herself after grime music after discovering the existence of the genre via Myspace.[1] In January 2010, she released her debut album, Geidi Primes on Arbutus Records, followed by Halfaxa, in September of that year. In late 2011, she announced that she had signed with 4AD, who partnered with Arbutus Records to release her third studio album, Visions, in January 2012. Visions met critical acclaim and was hailed by The New York Times as "one of the most impressive albums of the year so far".[2] Her fourth album, 2015's Art Angels, was her first to chart in top 40 in a number of countries.
Grimes' music has been noted by critics and journalists for its atypical combination of vocal elements, as well as a wide array of influences, ranging from electronica to pop, hip hop, R&B, noise rock, and even medieval music.
In 2013, Grimes was awarded the Webby Award for Artist of the Year[3] and a Juno Award for Electronic Album of the year.[4] She has made the Polaris Music Prize Shortlist twice; in 2012 for Visions in 2016 for Art Angels.
As of March 2021, Grimes's albums have earned 736,000 consumption units, of which 307,000 are album sales and 554 million on-demand song streams in the United States, according to MRC Data.[5]
