  • Bio

    Annemarie grew up in a very religious home with piano and as 10-year old she was sent to piano classes. Quickly she got tired of the strict piano teacher and two years later she grabbed her sisters old guitar to make melodies for the songs she had started to write. In spring 2008 Annemarie Zimakoff released her debut album "Ivory" which led to tours in Denmark, Germany and The United States. She played at Oppenheimers Afternoon in Århus, where the renowned music journalist Ole Rosenstand from Danish music Magazine GAFFA acknowledged her concert with 4 stars. "Ivory" also got a stunning reception by the critics: "She sings outstanding", Martin Hansen from Rootszone wrote. "A powerful debut", wrote Henrik Breum from the Bergske Blade. The melodies move between pop/folk and americana/country. They're unpredictable, edgy, often melancholic and make their way into the heart along with Annemaries expressive voice. With her intense performances she has captured her audience around the world so far in Dublin, Berlin, New York, Nashville and of course in all corners of Denmark. In 2010 she released "The Girl Without Music" on her own label to great critical acclaim. 4 out of 6 stars in GAFFA "Annemarie Zimakoffs strongest weapon is most definitely her bright and very beautiful young girls voice, that luckily contains enough melancholy, so it doesn't appear sugary sweet. Her songwriting is also solid, both lyrically and melodically (…)" Ole Rosenstand Svidt 8 out of 10 stars at Diskant.dk "The production is also worth to accentuate because the orchestration, which among others consists of so different analog instruments as the obo, glockenspiel and stringed instruments that lie like a devoted and confidential friend that takes the songs on a journey in different landscapes. But it is in the end the voice of Annemarie Zimakoff, a voice that is in the borderland between Tori Amos and sometimes a young Kate Bush, which carries the songs home where they belong. And the arrangements are solid all the way round in quality, from the quiet and sad to the lively and frisky". Carsten Meedom 4 out of 6 stars in Jydske Vestkysten "(…) Annemarie, who has taken her grandmothers Russian last name, demonstrates a firm grip on an American inspired melody writing, (…) But then there is as said the voice: Loud, clear, innocent, but with a strength, that draws in the listeners neck hair. All in all with this release Annemarie Zimakoff has deserved to lose her reputation as the girl, which music nobody knows". Michael Mogensen 4 out of 6 stars at Undertoner.dk "She has a lovely, bright vocal, that, when it is at its best has a beautiful clarity, especially in the verses in the simple but fine love song "Infinite for You" – a song, Zimakoff sings with great sensitivity - not sentimentality. Genrewise Zimakoff moves in singer/songwriter and folk, and the core in her melodies are the acoustic guitar and the voice, even though a longer row of musicians has helped with drums, obo, cello, violin and more."
