omprised of sisters Annika, Fiona, and Kathryn, Von Grey is an innovative, electronicbased band whose sound and imagery lure’s listeners into a musically fantastic world. Classically trained multi-instrumentalist, Von Grey’s musical journey began at a young age, slowly transitioning into the distinctive sound fans have come to adore.
Alongside this notable music, is Von Grey’s outstanding use of eye-catching dark symbolism. This contagious combination of unique visual and aural experiences sets Von Grey up as an unmatched talent whose presence is near impossible to ignore. Following the release of their latest EP, Trinity in December of 2018, we
caught up with Von Grey, inquiring about their influences, how being sisters has impacted their music, and what fans can expect from them for the remainder of the year. Growing up, were your musical influences and tastes similar? Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, no! We’ve all definitely loved many of the same artists, but Annika’s taste has always skewed more alternative, Kathryn’s is more pop (Britney lover), and I generally dig more urban and soul music. At what age did you begin playing music together? We all started classical training when we were five or six and about three years in, we began experimenting with playing music together classical music first, then slowly found our way to more contemporary styles of music.
