St. Vincent has been regarded as one of the most innovative and fascinating presences in modern music for nearly 20 years, constantly reinventing her audio and visual personae over the course of a kaleidoscopic catalog and winning six Grammy Awards along the way.
In her younger years, Annie Clark, the forty-three-year-old singer-songwriter who performs as St. Vincent, was twice mistaken for a prostitute at the Carlyle hotel. The first instance was an outgrowth of her sketchy sublet arrangement. While she lived in a rent-controlled apartment in the East Village, the man who actually held the lease led an itinerant life of luxury, staying at the Carlyle when he was in town.
