Introducing Hunny — the breakout artist of 2025 you’re about to hear everywhere. Hailing from South London, Hunny arrives with a voice that commands attention and lyrics that don’t shy away from vulnerability or truth. Her debut single, Mistress 2, released via Warner Records and The Coalition, is less of an introduction and more of a statement: she’s here to make her mark, and she’s doing it on her own terms.
The track blends delicate guitar with lyrics that cut deep, turning heartbreak and emotional chaos into quiet strength. It’s honest without being overly polished — a refreshing reminder that you don’t always have to have it together to be powerful. The accompanying video, filmed across East London, brings this narrative to life, following a protagonist shedding the weight of a toxic relationship as Hunny steps in as both narrator and witness.
Hunny herself says it best: “Mistress 2 is really saying, it’s okay to sometimes cry. We can’t be badass all the time.” It’s a simple statement, but it lands — especially in a music landscape often obsessed with untouchable perfection.
At just 26, Hunny’s story feels like one built on intention. With a British-Māori background and a creative spark ignited in the vibrant Brixton scene, her path has been anything but rushed. Instead of grabbing at early industry offers, she took the time to travel, reflect, and shape her sound. Now, with a sold-out 2024 residency at The HAC behind her and a major label partnership in place, Hunny’s timing feels deliberate — and right on cue.
While awards and accolades might be in her future, Hunny’s focus is clear: impact. “I’ll really know I’ve made it when I impact people, impact women,” she says. And if Mistress 2 is any indication, she’s already well on her way.
With more music on the horizon for 2025, Hunny isn’t just a breakout artist — she’s one to watch, for the long haul.
