Holysseus Fly is unapologetically embracing her pop star dreams on her own terms, making alt pop with soul and electronic influences.
With the show-womanship of Lady Gaga and emotional intimacy of James Blake, Fly is laying her own unique path. As supported by The Guardian, she really is one to watch.
Delivering choruses that rise like thunder, the 2023 debut solo EP ‘Birthpool’ delivered heartfelt lyrics that not only embraced her audience, but welcomed them into her journey of personal and creative reclamation, following her recovery from breast cancer in 2021.
In March 2024 the follow up single Out Of This World “pushed this striking sound further” (The Guardian). The same month she opened for Nick Mulvey on a sold-out 2024 UK tour including the London Hammersmith Apollo. In April Fly completed an artist residency at the prestigious Snape Maltings developing her live show – working with a team behind shows fron Madonna, Lorde and Florence + The Machine. She also completed her participation on the Sound and Music’s New Voices program (supported by Arts Council, PRS and PPL).
Most recently, she won audiences with her Glastonbury debut, plus a headline-worthy mainstage performance at Forwards Festival sharing alongside CMAT, Jessie Ware and LCD Soundsystem.
Fly has just been selected as a resident artist at The Bristol Beacon (supported by PRS and Arts Council), and is primed to push her artistry further with a bolder, more expansive sound on her 2025 summer EP, ‘A Red Sea’ and 2026 debut album.
