Biography

Kyriana Perlman, professionally known as AnarKy I, is a Nevada-based pop/rock artist whose music blends genre-fluid experimentation with raw emotional storytelling. Her stage name was born during a game of Scrabble, when she accidentally discovered that her given name was an anagram for AnarKy I—a fitting revelation for an artist whose rebellious, misfit spirit has always refused to stay boxed in.

Often misunderstood and outcast as a child, AnarKy found refuge in music, describing songwriting as the place where she finally “found herself” by expressing emotions she couldn’t yet speak aloud. That sense of catharsis and truth remains at the core of her work today. Her mission is simple but powerful: to impact others the way music once saved her, and to use her voice to create real change.

Refusing to align with a single genre, AnarKy I describes her sound as inspired by anything that’s good. Her music frequently features smooth R&B- and pop-leaning vocals layered over gritty rock, hip-hop, and alternative influences. Coming from a multicultural family she describes as “all colors,” her artistry and inspiration are intentionally inclusive, drawing from a wide spectrum of sounds, cultures, and lived experiences.

AnarKy wrote and produced her first demo independently in 2011 while living out of her car—an origin story that speaks to both resilience and relentless drive. Her debut album ONE was released in 2016 and marked the beginning of a steadily expanding career.

This evolution came fully into focus with The Phoenixx Project, a deeply personal album that ushered in what AnarKy refers to as her rebirth era. Inspired by themes of death, transformation, and rising from the ashes, the Phoenixx project represents a creative and spiritual turning point—shedding old identities, reclaiming power, and embracing radical self-expression. Visually and sonically, the era is defined by phoenix imagery, cosmic symbolism, and an unapologetic reclamation of voice, femininity, and purpose. The Phoenixx era continues to influence her current releases, branding, and live performances.

Since then, AnarKy I has collaborated with a wide range of respected artists and producers including Wrekonize (Strange Music), DJ Pumba, Tom Gordon, Horseshoe Gang, Bizarre (D12), Whitney Peyton, and Mistah F.A.B..

Her recent releases showcase her continued evolution and creative range, including the high-energy club record Badeez, the dark pop/rock anthem Black Magic, the gritty collaboration Find Out, and the bold, high-voltage single Energizer Bunny.

As a live performer, AnarKy I has shared stages with an impressive list of artists including Andre Nickatina, Snow Tha Product, King Iso, Krizz Kaliko, Prozak, Rob Stone, Twisted Insane, Lil Wyte, Demrick, Crooked I, Horseshoe Gang, Kurupt (Tha Dogg Pound), Brotha Lynch Hung, Dizzy Wright, Glasses Malone, Too Short, and more—earning a reputation for commanding presence and emotional authenticity.

AnarKy is also a Grammy U Ambassador for the Recording Academy, reflecting her commitment to artistic excellence, advocacy for creators, and continued professional growth within the music industry.

Together with her husband and producer, Sean Dossi, she co-owns and operates The Wash Room, a professional recording studio hidden behind a chic, laundry-room façade. Backed by over 20+ years of combined professional audio experience, the studio features industry-standard equipment including an Avalon preamp and Neumann U87 microphone, a robust plug-in library, and multiple Digital Audio Workstations such as Pro Tools, Logic, and Reason. Their tongue-in-cheek slogan—“The cleanest sound around”—is more than earned.

Whether in the studio, on stage, or behind the scenes, AnarKy I continues to rise—turning chaos into art, and rebellion into purpose.
