Hayden Silas Anhedönia (born March 24, 1998), known professionally as Ethel Cain,[a] is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and model. Inspired by Christian music and Gregorian chant, she is noted for her lyrics focused on nostalgic and Southern Gothic themes, while her music has been associated with the ambient, indie rock, and contemporary folk genres.
