Aneiki was an Australian pop duo from Brisbane, made up of Jennifer Waite and Grant Wallis. They originally performed under the name Halogen but had to change it after another Australian band with the same name claimed the rights.

They worked with songwriter Daniel Jones and were signed to Meridienmusik. Their debut single, “Pleased to Meet You,” reached No. 26 on the ARIA Singles Chart and stayed in the top 100 for 18 weeks. It also peaked at No. 13 on the 2001 Australian Artist Singles chart and was the most-played Australian song on Australian radio in 2002. In 2002, Waite and Wallis were named APRA’s Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year, an award they shared with Sia.

Aneiki released further singles: “Superhero” (No. 48 in Australia), “15 Minutes” (No. 72 in Australia), and “Even Without You” (No. 97 in Australia). Their debut album, Words in Place of Objects, came out in September 2002 on Meridienmusik and peaked at No. 87 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
