Alana Mychal Haim[1] (born December 15, 1991)[2] is an American musician and actress. She is best known as the pianist, guitarist, and vocalist in the American pop rock band Haim, along with her two older sisters, Este and Danielle, who, in 2020, received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year nomination for their third album, Women in Music Pt. III.

In 2021, she starred in Paul Thomas Anderson's film Licorice Pizza, for which she received critical acclaim and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role and a Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress.

Early life

Alana Haim was born on December 15, 1991, in Los Angeles, California, to a Jewish family.[3] Her father, Mordechai "Moti" Haim, is an Israeli-born retired professional soccer player who moved to the United States in 1980.[4] Her mother, Donna Rose, is a former elementary school art teacher from Philadelphia.[5] Haim's paternal grandmother was originally from Bulgaria.[6] She has two older sisters, Este (born March 14, 1986) and Danielle (born February 16, 1989).[3]

Haim was raised in the San Fernando Valley in a musical family.[3] Her father was a drummer in a choir group; her mother was a folk singer, and a winning contestant on The Gong Show in the 1970s.[4][5] They taught their young daughters to play various instruments, with Alana picking up percussion at the age of four.[7] Growing up, the siblings were encouraged to listen to their parents' classic rock and Americana records, though they also developed their own liking of '90s R&B.[8] The family eventually formed a band, Rockinhaim, and played their first rock concert at Los Angeles' Canter's Deli in 2000, with Moti on drums and Donna on vocals.[9][10] They performed '70s and '80s rock covers every few months in the next decade, mostly at local fairs and fundraisers.[7]

Haim attended Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and graduated in 2010.[11][12] She briefly attended Los Angeles Valley College before dropping out to focus on her music career.[13]

Career

Haim

Main article: Haim (band)

In 2007, Alana and her sisters formed the band Haim and released their EP Forever in 2012. They have appeared at many music festivals, one of which brought them to the attention of artist and musician Jay-Z, who signed to his recently founded label Roc Nation in 2012.[14][15] Haim signed with Columbia Records at the end of 2012, and was a featured artist at Jay Z's Made in America festival.

Haim released their first studio album, Days Are Gone, in September 2013. It was a commercial success,[16] and they were musical guests on Saturday Night Live.[17]

They released their second studio album, Something to Tell You, in July 2017.[15]

In 2021 they released their third album, Women in Music, Pt. III, which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards,[18] with the single, "The Steps", nominated for Best Rock Performance.[18] The album was widely featured on year-end best album lists, including those of The Guardian,[19] NPR,[20] Pitchfork[21] and Stereogum.[22]

Acting

Haim stars in Licorice Pizza, a 2021 feature film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson,[23] who previously directed several of the band's music videos and a short documentary on the making of Something to Tell You.[23] Licorice Pizza is set in the 1970s, where Haim plays opposite Cooper Hoffman, the son of Anderson's late collaborator Philip Seymour Hoffman.[24] Reviewing the film in the Los Angeles Times, Justin Chang called Haim "the star of this boisterous, bighearted movie and its raison d'être".[25] In The Hollywood Reporter, David Rooney praised her performance as "an incandescent presence that marks the arrival of a fully formed screen star".[26]
