NEW SINGLE ''TALK BOY'' OUT NOW
W: Mandy Morgan. I: Pedro Solar
At just 19, h3nce has rapidly emerged from the digital shadows to become one of the most compelling new voices in modern alternative music. Working from his attic with only his closest friend in the loop, this self-taught multi-instrumentalist has crafted a sound that feels both intensely personal and universally urgent.
h3nce’s sonic blueprint is a fascinating collision of genres, blending indie rock, post-punk, shoegaze, and grunge with a warped, DIY approach to electronic production. His influences are as diverse as alternative rap and raw noise, all filtered through a lens of digital-age nostalgia.
The momentum behind h3nce is undeniable. In the last year alone, he’s amassed over 7 million streams and a dedicated base of 215,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Beyond the streaming giants, his community is tightly woven: 36,000 followers on Instagram and a fast-growing Discord server where fans actively share art and build inside jokes, proving his world extends far beyond the music itself.
His breakout single, “VICTIM TO MY BRAIN,” arrived via Broke Records (US), with other tracks gaining traction on crucial playlists like not just a phase (DE) and New Alternative (NL). Just last week, h3nce dropped the explosive music video for his new single, ‘TALK BOY,’ a genre-bending anthem featuring driving guitars and fractured beats that perfectly channels the angst of a digitally native youth caught between isolation and hyper-connection. This track serves as a powerful preview of his forthcoming work

h3nce’s highly anticipated debut EP, WRITE IT ON YOUR FLAGS, is a six-track project produced by Leon Laguna (known for his work with EASY EASY and Jewls), set for release on November 14th. The EP promises to be a journey through bleak yet beautiful landscapes—a world existing "between frozen Warsaw nights and rain-soaked London streets." The sound is described as rough, grey, and restless, yet always straining toward the light. Lyrically, the songs lurch from moments of chaos to intimacy, circling themes of losing oneself and watching friends drift away. Ultimately, however, the EP pushes toward a defiant conclusion: taking pain and turning it into a white flag, meant to be carried together.
The hype has already translated into electric live performances. h3nce recently sold out his headline debut in Berlin, where fans were lining up early and immediately opening the pit from the first note. He also completed a successful support slot for Internet Girl.
Coinciding with the EP release, h3nce is now launching his first dedicated UK & EU headline tour this November. He’ll be joined on stage by drummer Noah Anderson to bring his DIY sound into physical space. Following this run, the duo will support US legend ThxSoMch for an additional five European dates, solidifying h3nce’s transition from an online phenomenon to an essential live act for a generation raised online.
