Early life

Alana Haim was born on December 15, 1991, in Los Angeles to a Jewish family. [4] Her father, Mordechai "Moti" Haim, is an Israeli-born retired professional soccer player who moved to the United States in 1980. [5] Her mother, Donna Rose, is a former elementary school art teacher from Philadelphia. [6] Haim's paternal grandmother was originally from Bulgaria. [7] She has two older sisters, Este (born 1986) and Danielle (born 1989). [4]

Haim was raised in the San Fernando Valley in a musical family. [4] 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. [5] [6] They taught their young daughters to play various instruments, with Alana picking up percussion at the age of four. [8] 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. [9] 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. [10] [11] They performed '70s and '80s rock covers every few months in the next decade, mostly at local fairs and fundraisers. [8]

Haim attended Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and graduated in 2010. [12] [13] She briefly attended Los Angeles Valley College before dropping out to focus on her music career. [14]

[18] They released their second studio album, Something to Tell You , in July 2017. [16] In June 2020, they released their third album, Women in Music, Pt. III , which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, [19] with the single, "The Steps", nominated for Best Rock Performance. [19] The album was widely featured on year-end best album lists, including those of The Guardian , [20] NPR , [21] Pitchfork [22] and Stereogum . [23]

[24] Licorice Pizza is set in 1973, [25] where Haim plays opposite Cooper Hoffman, the son of Anderson's late collaborator Philip Seymour Hoffman. [26] Reviewing the film in the Los Angeles Times , Justin Chang called Haim "the star of this boisterous, bighearted movie and its raison d'être". [27] In The Hollywood Reporter , David Rooney praised her performance as "an incandescent presence that marks the arrival of a fully formed screen star".
