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 is set to release her new single ‘Phoenix’ in April 2023. Her new EP entitled ‘Olive’ (inspired by the nuances of Black Femininity and the life & work of activist Olive Morris) will also be released in June 2023 with a 5 date tour to follow, across the South East/East of England in June 2023. This project is supported by Arts Council England.
