Named a US Presidential Scholar in the Arts, a YoungArts Finalist, and a Jerry Herman award winner for Best Actress in a musical, she started studying voice at 10, attended LACHSA (Los Angeles County High School for the Arts), A Cappella Academy, and Berklee College of Music for vocal performance.

While at Berklee she was a member of their premiere A Cappella group Pitch Slapped, made her on-camera debut as a principle role in the Oscar-Winning film CODA, and received global recognition on Season 19 of American Idol where Anilee delivered “technically perfect vocals” and was named a Top 24 finalist on the show.

Anilee List is a unique and well-rounded vocal storyteller, avid creator, and passionate collaborator. Her curiosity and excitement for music began at a young age, first taking the stage at two-years-old.

Anilee’s career has since taken her to venues all over the world, including: The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, and the O2.

She recently returned from a year long tour supporting the musical act Olivia Rodrigo and appears in the Netflix Documentary Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour.

Her credits also include: Sheryl Crow, Chappel Roan, Journey, Pentatonix, AMEX, Freeform, Ben Barnes, and Noel Schajris.

Having been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at the age of ten, Anilee is an active member of the Tourette Association of America. She is a passionate advocate for the disability community and strives to spread awareness and acceptance wherever she goes.

Anilee finds fulfillment in releasing and performing her own music, supporting other acts, facilitating group singing workshops, and providing vocal mentorship to those looking to deepen their relationship with their voice. Her work explores the complexity of the human experience and how the journey back to self can be the ultimate connector.

Her latest project, Song Seeds: a collaborative circle singing and songwriting workshop, works to encapsulate the power of group singing as a healing modality.

When she isn’t making music, Anilee can be found frolicking in nature, cooking a warm meal, laughing with friends, or stretching and moving her body.
