  • Bio

    Kentucky-born Mezzo-soprano avant-genre artist Carolyn "Honeychild" Coleman has been described as "Fugazi meets Echobelly" , "Thrash diva Honeychild brings to mind Miriam Makeba meeting Bjork in the Sex Pistol's basement" (Greg Tate, VIBE) and "evoking images of Kate Bush and Sarah Vaughn battling it out in a mosh pit" (Teresa Wiltz, Washington Post). She began her career playing in the subways of New York City and has since performed and recorded with Raz Mesinai's Badawi, HERE (Italy), Phylr, DJ Olive and we (tm), Spectre (Wordsound), Apollo Heights (Manimal Vinyl/Red Eye) and Death Comet Crew (featuring Rammellzee). In 2010 Coleman was recruited by Ari Up (R.I.P.) to join The Slits as sole guitarist on their final European/UK Tour. A featured artist in documentaries "Afropunk" (James Spooner, USA) and "Fireflies" + "Getting My Name Up There" (Katharina Cibulka, Austria), Coleman also music contributed to the scores of Robin Wright Penn's mystery thriller,"Sorry Haters " (IFC), "P.R", the award-winning independent release by Greek director Maria Paraskevopoulou, and 2011 Sundance Film Festival award-winning "Pariah" dramatic feature by Dee Rees. She has performed in France, Spain, Germany, Ireland, England, Denmark and Italy, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York....... ...... ...... ...... ...... ........ ........ .. .. ..
