Becca 'Honeychile' Graham
Using the moniker Honeychile, Becca Graham (she/they) thrives at the intersection of classic and contemporary performance. A vocalist, instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, visual artist and member of the Philadelphia-based hip hop soul collective Hardwork Movement, Graham explores themes of childhood curiosity, black and queer identity, heartbreak and radical joy with a unique blend of humor, vulnerability and sass. Whether she is embodying a hip hop emcee or a jazz and blues diva, Honeychile evokes an “old soul” sound with “new school” genre-bending style reminiscent of musical giants past and present.
"I am ready to pour my experiences as an artist, educator and program administrator into this Art and Change project. To be counted among so many other inspiring Philadelphia creatives is an honor and I'm excited to listen and learn from my community as I step more confidently into this work of bringing folks safely together again through art and social impact."
