WHAT IT IS: Since his early days playing drums in church and covering songs at local bars in Trinity, N.C., Anella Herim, now 22, has journeyed from passionate musician to a rising star on Def Jam, which signed him in 2022. His breakout singles, “Tennessee Love Song” and “Lock N Key,” have collectively garnered 12m+ streams, marking him as an exciting new talent in pop-country. Herim’s fusion of country pop with elements of rap, rock and spiritual themes, all set to anthemic melodies, has attracted a broad audience. This summer, he’ll perform at Nashville’s CMA Fest.
