Antony and the Johnsons are a Mercury Prize-winning music act from New York City, New York, United States. The band is fronted by Anohni (f.k.a. Antony) who was born in 1971.
During the mid 90s Antony started solo; after originally producing songs with Blacklips Performance Cult and other late-night cabarets she had a number of songs to work with. In 1995 she assembled a backing group—the self-styled Antony and the Johnsons—and began to focus on the musical side of her performances.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

LYRICS ********** Kiss my name Mama, in the afterglow When the grass is green with grow And my tears have turned to snow
Well, I'm only a child Born upon a grave Dancing through the stations Calling out my name
Kiss my name
Oh, kiss my name I am trying to be sane I'm trying to kiss my friends And when broken, make amends
Kiss my name, the curtains white The turtle doves embroider light As I lie, murdered in ground The rain compacting sodden sound
Of songs I sang the years before Kiss my name When it was time to rain Upon the coal that I became
Won't you kiss my name, oh mama Won't you kiss my name, baby Kiss my name
