Yvonne Hercules is a singer-songwriter based in Cambridge UK. Her music has received nods from publications including Clash Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, Afropunk, and others and she has received support from PRS Foundation, Arts Council England towards her work.

Inspired by Folk, Blues, Rock & Soul, her songs are a culmination of these genres underpinned by honest, thought-provoking lyrics. She also draws on inspiration from visual mediums outside of music including art & film, with visual concepts often coinciding alongside her songs.

Yvonne released her EP entitled ‘Olive’ (inspired by the nuances of Black Femininity and the life & work of activist Olive Morris) in June 2023 which culminated in a 5 date tour across the South East/East of England. This project was supported by Arts Council England.
