Anna Arco, Sweden

Anna Arco was born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1991. She holds a Master’s degree in Jazz Vocal Performance from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. True to her name, – which derives from the Greek base of the word “anarchism” an archos – meaning without rulers or leader – Anna Arco is a composer and producer working independently. “Her dark, melodic and experimental music contains elements of hip-hop, jazz and electronica.” – reads an excerpt from a review of her album Sad Secret Songs, published in an Italian metal magazine. Here Anna Arco is expressing her grief at the loss of her best friend. The album has received heavy rotation on Swedish national radio and made both HYMN’’s list of the best Swedish album of the year and Australian magazine Women in Pop’s list of the 50 best songs of 2021. In Italy, music critics complimented the album by writing:”It’s certainly not metal or rock, but those who have a passion for good music will find the album excellent.” Arco is now working on a new album, which will be the final part of the Songs trilogy.
