Tom Heyes, professionally known as Blackhaine, is an English experimental musician, rapper and choreographer.[3][4][5]
Biography
[edit]Born in Preston and raised in nearby Chorley, Lancashire, Heyes began to explore contemporary dance in his adolescence while taking interest in experimental music, developing an abrasive style of dance that would often leave him bloodied and bruised.[1] After starring in several music videos, Heyes subsequently began producing music,[6] later releasing the EPs And Salford Falls Apart and Armour II.[7][8]
He came to prominence as part of a burgeoning experimental music and art scene in 2021 in Salford, largely centered around the local music and arts space, The White Hotel, and alongside other artists such as Space Africa, Rainy Miller and Aya.[3][4][5]
