Claire Elise Boucher (born March 17, 1988), known professionally as Grimes, is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Her music has incorporated elements of varied styles, including dream pop, electronic, R&B, and hip hop, while touching on science fiction and feminist themes. She has released five studio albums.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Grimes began releasing music independently in the late 2000s, releasing two albums, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa, in 2010 on Arbutus Records. She subsequently signed with 4AD and rose to prominence with the release of her third studio album, Visions, in 2012. Visions includes the singles "Genesis" and "Oblivion" and received the Canadian music industry Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year. Following this, her fourth studio album, Art Angels, was released in 2015 and received critical praise as several publications named it the best album of the year. Her fifth studio album, Miss Anthropocene, was released in 2020.

Grimes is most recognised for her experimental pop music, but she has stated that she sees herself as a visual artist first and foremost. Her prints, drawings, photographs and digital works are continuations of her music – her aesthetic influences drawn from anime and horror being reflected in her music videos, album covers and tour merchandise. Often, her work aims to explore the notion of identity potential in the digital age; the ability to create and augment ourselves beyond our biological limits.
