Booking Holly Herndon

Holly Herndon is an American experimental electronic artist, composer, and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of music, technology, and contemporary art. Based between Berlin and the United States, she is widely recognized for pushing the boundaries of what electronic music can represent—both sonically and philosophically.

Trained in composition and electronic music, Herndon became known for incorporating the human voice as a central instrument, often processed, fragmented, and reimagined through digital tools. Her music explores themes such as identity, privacy, embodiment, and the relationship between humans and machines. Rather than treating technology as neutral, she actively interrogates its cultural and political impact through sound.

One of the defining aspects of Holly Herndon’s work is her use of artificial intelligence and collaborative systems. She has pioneered the use of machine-learning voices trained on community input, transforming authorship into a collective process. This approach has positioned her as a thought leader not only in music, but also in discussions around ethics, AI, and creative labor.

Live, Holly Herndon presents highly immersive performances that blend music, visuals, and conceptual storytelling. Her shows often feel like living installations—intimate, challenging, and emotionally resonant. Performed at major festivals, art institutions, and concert halls worldwide, her work consistently engages audiences willing to listen deeply and think critically.

With critically acclaimed releases, academic influence, and a singular artistic vision, Holly Herndon remains a premium booking choice for events seeking experimental excellence, innovation, and meaningful cultural impact.
