History

2022–2023: Genesys

The project's first full-length album, Genesys, was released on 11 August 2023. It consisted of 14 tracks and featured guest artists such as Grimes, Sevdaliza, Chris Avantgarde, Rebūke, and CamelPhat. Exploring themes of artificial intelligence, humanity, and their coexistence, the concept album became highly successful, making Anyma the number-one selling artist on Beatport in 2023. The record also achieved international chart success, peaking at number five on the UK Official Dance Albums Chart. Several singles from the album became hits within the melodic techno scene, particularly "Consciousness", "Eternity", and "Welcome to the Opera", a collaboration with Grimes released in June 2023. Anyma integrated CGI and digital art into his live sets, collaborating with visual artist Alessio De Vecchi to expand the narrative of "EVA", a humanoid robot character that became the visual centerpiece of his shows. The artist's 2023 live appearances included a set on Tomorrowland's Freedom Stage, in Belgium.

On 10 January 2025, Anyma released "Hypnotized", a collaboration with Ellie Goulding, as the lead single from his upcoming third studio album. The track was met with widespread acclaim from critics. "Hypnotized" reached No. 1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, becoming Anyma's first No. 1 single on any Billboard chart. On 14 February, he released "Voices in My Head" with Argy and Son of Son, as the album's second single.
