She was born into a spiritual commune/cult called 'The Holy Order of MANS'. Her father was a fiddler of German and Sinti descent, and her mother was a hippie folk-singer of English, French, and Cree descent. After her parents left the cult, they relocated to Dahlonega, Georgia, where she grew up. She won a scholarship to study at Yale where she painted and sculpted. [cite web|url=http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/printarticle/3936|title=Music fills York Sq. when movies can't |publisher=Yale Daily News|accessdate=2008-06-14|last=|first=] At 20 years old she dropped out of Yale, and moved to Alaska, where she hiked and began to experiment with singing. She later was convinced by a friend to return to Yale, where she began to record 'Harpoon', which was inspired by a love affair at that time. She then moved to Providence, Rhode Island, where she has since produced another album called 'The Last Tree'. Larkin's third album 'Parplar' is expected in October 2008.

Larkin Grimm is a radical environmentalist and opposes the War in Iraq.
