Hillarynx

South-London Singer-Songwriter rooted in Black Feminism(s), Hillarynx’s contralto voice grounds the audience to face these times. Playful and multi-tonal, Hillarynx draws inspiration from Betty Carter, Nina Simone and the Soulquarians. Without the London’s Jazz Jam scene, Hillarynx wouldn’t be the artist and improviser she is today.

Raised in Wandsworth’s Alton Estate, she started her artist journey in her mid-20’s. With the support of Youth Music’s Next Gen Fund she was able to start working on her debut EP. Her tunes such as Belly Full and The 3rd have been heard on BBC3, Jazz FM, Rinse FM and she has performed at Peckham Festival, Stanley Arts, Southbank Centre, We Out Here and Jazz Cafe. She is currently finishing her debut EP called Sayyings. Hillarynx has also scored Dancing on Road by Lauren Gee and has previously worked with South London Gallery as a Creative Practitioner on Making Sense.
