My creative style and process are heavily influenced by my background, everyday people, and everyday experiences. Music is my primary vessel of expression, it allows me to break down barriers that may evade regular conversation. It provides a feeling you can't recreate. I specialize in Songwriting and Song Creation/Production (Pop, Rock, RnB). When people see my work, I hope they experience a modern punk attitude with a whole lot of love.

Holly's Experience

I am inspired by everyday life and everyday people. Music and art are my primary vessels for expression, I love to incorporate elements of my background, punk, modernism, and nostalgia into my work – I am also influenced by politics, gender, and race and love to present themes of this within my art. Some of my vocal and performance experience is listed below – Session Vocals featured on Tracks for – EMI (‘Germany’s Next Top Model’ Official TV Advert), Ninja Tune (Netflix’s ‘Dash and Lily’), SIXTYFOUR Music and various catalog. Holly has performed at various UK festivals and events including The Great Escape, The Alternative Escape, El Dorado, Isle of Wight, Brighton PRIDE, also featured on BBC Introducing Sussex and BBC Radio 1’s Introducing with Huw Stephen, with band CURRLS. “Strident Vocals that somehow signal nonchalant cool and pure exuberance” “Frontwoman Holly Blake is a genuine force of nature; her fantastic husky vocals jumping from a beguiling whisper to a full-throated roar at will, and fully owning the highly emotional content in the trio’s repertoire.”
