 “With ‘Awakening’, I learned how to self-reflect, self-doubt, self-teach. The question is, did I learn how to self-love?
 “It’s 2am, have a drink of your choosing and immerse yourself in my dark but hopeful, disillusioned yet ambitious world. It is a coming of age project and nothing will ever be the same.” - Hendrix Harris
 Based in London, raised by a British / Jamaican mother and a French father, Hendrix Harris’s heritage is spread far and wide around the globe. Spending some of his childhood in La Havana, Cuba, extensively shaped his identity as an artist and as a man. His Cuban connexions rooted him as a borderless artist through features with globally artists such as Cimafunk (GRAMMY nominated) or rapper / lyricist Barbaro el Urbano Vargas.
 A multi-faceted singer / rapper, composer and producer, Harris’s universe is made of unforgettable melodies, a signature raspy tone, poetic and honest songwriting, and impressive production skills. His music is a unique fusion of genres ranging from R&B to soul and hip-hop, tinged with a boundless freedom reminding us of jazz.
 These last years have seen Hendrix Harris garner the attention of critics such as Complex, Wonderland, Clash and Colors, who praised him for his unique style and versatility. His single, ‘The Hill’ was featured on the official ‘FIFA 2022’ soundtrack, alongside artists such as Little Simz and Pa Salieu.
 ‘Awakening’ takes us on a sonic journey through Hendrix Harris’s mind. Finding solace in hypnotic melodic loops and heavy bass driven beats, his intimate yet powerful delivery will guide you through his reflections on notions of self, society, relationships and growth. This collection of insightful observations on the artist’s state of mind is his most honest and accomplished work to date, sonically and lyrically.
