Anika a.k.a Annika Henderson is a hybrid artist. The former journalist made a name for herself in the electronic music scene, with her experimental sound collages,
confrontational texts and unique way of performing live. Her breakthrough came in 2010 with her debut LP „Anika“ which she recorded with Portishead members/Bristol band Beak>.
A wholly unplanned affair, which began her on-going investigation into the music, film, poetry and arts scenes. The debut was followed by Change in 2021, an
album full of heightened frustration buoyed by guarded optimism spread across nine tracks. Now 2025 sees the release of her third album Abyss. Recorded live to tape at Berlin's legendary Hansa Studios, the album captures raw energy with minimal overdubs, resulting in a visceral and urgent 10-track journey fueled by intense emotions. An album that speaks to the turmoil of our times while offering an emotional outlet.
Henderson operates as a writer, composer, musician, DJ, photographer, radio host and video-director. She has worked across the arts with the likes of punk legends Gudrun Gut and Beate Bartel (Malaria!, Liaisons Dangereuses), Tricky (Massive Attack), Jim Jarmusch, Soundwalk Collective, Shackleton, Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop, Clark (Warp), performance artist Melanie Jame Wolf, Poet Ricardo Domeneck, computer programmer Raoul Sanders/A.I (The Writing Robot. 2017), fashion house Jil Sander and light artist Philipp Geist. Her latest work includes a video art experiment called 'Anika - Alone In The City' in collaboration with n.b.k gallery in Berlin.
