Hilary talks with Anjimile about getting famous during a pandemic (my words, not his!), the sweet, sweet Ableton grid, his songwriting order of operations, having a Google Doc for that, and the Bob’s Burgers Concentration Challenge (tm). Plus, empathy and longing for live music.

ANJIMILE’S BIO
Anjimile Chithambo, known mononymously as Anjimile, is a queer and trans songmaker based in Boston, MA. When it comes to composition, Anjimile draws upon everything he’s learned, from the African pop beloved by his parents to his time in youth choir to later influences from Iron & Wine and ‘80s music. Inspired by faith, addiction, and Anjimile’s own transition, his debut album Giver Taker tells a small story in each song that encompasses a larger voyage of self-discovery.
