Annie Sea sings soul-folk music to move, amuse and awaken. Her music weaves the tender, groovy soul of Tracy Chapman and India Arie with the folk lyricism of Joni Mitchell. Her poignant, earth-centered songs appeal to fans of Ayla Nereo and Rising Appalachia, while her clever, humorous tunes shake up the standard singer-songwriter fare. Based in the Green Dream tiny home in Portland, Oregon, she strives to pursue an eco-conscious life in alignment with her message.
A secretive songwriter in her youth, Annie began sharing her music after partial vision loss derailed her career as an environmental biologist. Adjusting to this new reality, she honed her songwriting skills, cultivated a bolder voice, and stepped into her role as a powerful frontwoman. Her lyrics reflect her belief that we can collectively embrace a more connected, sustainable way of living – while also exploring Annie’s individual journey toward her true artistic purpose.
Annie’s music has been featured in the documentary Dammed to Extinction, the 350.org compilation Protect What You Love – Songs and Stories of the Pacific Northwest, the film ‘Falling South’, and Women of Substance Podcast’s “Music with a Conscience” series. She has also contributed backing vocals to hip hop collaborative Rebel Wise, has opened for nationally touring artist and 2016 NPR Tiny Desk winner Gaelynn Lea, and received a 2022 Holler Grant for her ‘Aligning’ music video.
Annie’s energetic anthems empower her audience and compel them to sing along. Her 2025 single “We Will Protect Each Other” is a pointed tribute to protestors standing up to ICE abductions. Her latest 2026 release, “Live at the Artichoke” showcases her ability to reflect the full range of human experience: laughter, grief, self-reflection, and a deeper attention to the natural world.
