Annabelle Chvostek is a Canadian singer-songwriter, composer and multi instrumentalist based out of Toronto, Ontario.


Chvostek has undertaken numerous collaborative projects in music, dance and new media. She has created songs in collaboration with the bands Millipede and Lake of Stew, and with electroacoustic composer Ned Bouhalassa. Her multi-disciplinary performance in 2004 with Anna Friz, The Automated Prayer Machine,[1] toured Europe and Canada. She has produced soundscores for choreographers in Montréal and New York, including five works for choreographer Aviva Geismar/Drastic Action.

Her self-produced first full-length CD Full Stop in 2000 was included as a number 7 spot on the national campus radio charts. That year, she also collaborated with Ned Bouhalassa to produce Bija, an experimental electro-acoustic project. She was a finalist the CBC big break awards, and released Water in 2003 with support from the Canada Council. In 2005 she created a stripped down solo EP called Burned My Ass, hit No. 1 in the roots category on the national campus radio charts,[2] and helped land her a job with folk/roots harmony trio the Wailin' Jennys, with whom she sang alto and played guitar, mandolin and violin. The songs she contributed to the band's repertoire include "The Devil's Paintbrush Road", "Swallow", "Apocalypse Lullaby", and "Firecracker", all of which appear on the Wailin' Jennys' June 2006 release, Firecracker, produced by David Travers-Smith. She left the Jennys in 2007 to return to composition and solo performance.

In 2008 Annabelle Chvostek released "Resilience" produced by Roma Baran (Laurie Anderson) and Vivian Stoll (Isis).
