Grimes is a treasure trove of talent. The Canadian star has realized herself as a singer, talented artist and musician. She increased her popularity after giving birth to a child with Elon Musk.
Grimes' popularity has long gone beyond her native Canada. The singer's tracks regularly enter the prestigious music charts. Several times the work of the performer was nominated for the prestigious Grammy award.
Childhood and youth Grimes
Claire Alice Boucher (real name of the celebrity) was born in the Vancouver area. Actually, her childhood passed there. She was born in 1988.
The girl was brought up in a traditionally intelligent family. The head of the family and mother from an early age instilled in Claire a love of religion. When she was in school, along with other subjects, she was also taught a Bible course. Bush sincerely did not like that they tried to impose a love of religion on her. She skipped her Bible classes and had to stay on duty for that.
She was a problem child. When Claire finally got her high school diploma, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. Claire applied to a prestigious university. For herself, she chose the Faculty of Philology.
Throughout her time at the university, she specialized in literature. As electives, the girl preferred neurobiology and the Russian language. Everything was stable until 2010. Then the study faded into the background. Music became the main priority in Bush's life. Since that time, textbooks have been gathering dust on the shelf.
Creative way and music of Grimes
The creative path of the singer started in 2007. She independently mastered playing the synthesizer, but did not master musical notation. This small nuance did not become an obstacle to writing musical works, which were included in the debut longplay Geidi Primes. Interestingly, the collection is associated with the novel "Dune" by the famous writer Frank Herbert. The album was warmly received by the audience.
During this period of time, she receives an offer to sign a contract with a recording studio. Grimes took advantage of the offer and decided to make a deal. On the wave of popularity, her discography is replenished with the second album, which was called Halfaxa. The record was recorded in the style of electric and baroque pop. Compositions Dream Fortress and World♡Princess entered the top music charts in a week.
The “tasty” novelties from the singer did not end there. Soon the presentation of the EP Darkbloom took place. At the same time, the performance of the Canadian singer could be seen at a concert by Lyukke Lee. Claire Boucher was at the top of her popularity.
Then the journalists managed to find out that the singer decided to terminate the contract with Arbutus. She chose not to talk about the reasons that forced her to make such a decision. She signed a contract with a new recording studio, and released the Visions album there. It was after the presentation of this LP that she received worldwide recognition.
The peak of the popularity of the singer Grimes
The cover of the presented album was decorated with quotes from Anna Akhmatova herself. They were written in Russian. Thus, the singer wanted to pay tribute to her mother. It is known that my mother had Russian roots in her family.
Due to the recognition of the Visions record, the Canadian singer received the status of the flagship of electronic music. For some of the tracks that were included in the new LP, the artist released clips.
Not only ordinary music lovers are interested in the work of the Canadian performer, but also colleagues in the shop. For example, the performer Blood Diamonds, impressed by the artist's album, gave her the track Go.
On the wave of popularity and recognition, she holds a number of concerts, along with Lana Del Rey and the Bleachers team. At the same time, a presentation of a new track took place, which was called Flesh Without Blood. Then her discography was replenished with another novelty. We are talking about the Art Angels LP. The record, like the new track, received a lot of positive reviews and was nominated for a series of prestigious awards.
Hitting the foreign charts, as well as the first lines in the Billboard chart rating, turned out to be the pinnacle of Grimes' success. Her projects won in the category "Best Independent Record" and "Best Foreign Female Alternative and Indie Pop Artist".
Soon there was a presentation of the video clip, in which Hana took part, as well as the soundtrack for the Suicide Squad film. The brightest times have come in the career of Grimes.
Details of the artist's personal life
The celebrity is surrounded by a multimillion-dollar army of fans who are interested in watching not only her creative, but also her personal life. She inspires people not to be ashamed of their shortcomings. As it turned out, the girl suffers from ectasia and a speech impediment. Little nuances related to health did not prevent Grimes from building a good career and finding a worthy life partner.
She promotes vegetarianism and encourages people to switch to plant foods. Grimes admits that milk is sometimes present in her diet. Her height is 165 cm, and her weight is 47 kilograms.
At one time, the girl had an affair with the charming Devon Welsh. Young people attended the McGill school together. In 2010, it turned out that the couple broke up. Grimes chose to hide the reasons for the expense, but journalists spread rumors that the young man had cheated on the star.
In 2018, Grimes managed to meet Elon Musk himself. For a long time, the lovers tried not to advertise the fact that they were together. But it was not possible to hide love relationships from the sensitive eyes of journalists. When Grimes revealed that she was dating Elon, she commented that they bonded over a great sense of humor.
A few years later, a nude photo of Claire Boucher appeared on social networks. The property of the photo was the rounded belly of the Canadian singer, which hinted to fans about pregnancy. Many did not believe Grimes, accusing her of photoshop. The extravagant girl clearly did not look like one who would want to devote herself to raising a child.
Questions were raised not only by a rounded stomach, but also by a scar in the middle of the chest. Fans believed that the photo would serve as the cover for the new album. Elon Musk wrote a mathematical equation under the photo. Actually, then the most intelligent fans realized that Elon would become the father of Claire's child. The guesses were confirmed. In May 2020, she gave birth to a child from Musk.
