It has been stated that Grimes had started to write music and lyrics under this newly adopted name by the year 2007, as it has been shown by the timestamps of Grimes’ original MySpace. She also mentioned that she had chosen this name due to the reason that MySpace had only allowed the artists to choose any three genres at the time while creating their pages, and she had decided to choose ‘Grime Music’ as all three options. Her increased fan base has also been so huge because Grimes has taught herself music and art since her early years.
Grimes had been very positively reviewed for her first two albums, as a result, she had been signed with the record label 4AD in the year 2012. This had helped her music to reach a wider audience which had been outside her home country, Canada.

The album ‘Visions’ was listed by the British cultural website, NME, as a part of their ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time List’ in the year 2013.
