About Blackhaine
Blackhaine is the project of Tom Heyes, a choreographer and dancer from Preston who is based in Salford. His records grew out of performance work, and the producer Rainy Miller has been a close collaborator on the sound.
Heyes delivers his words somewhere between drill-style rap and spoken poetry, writing about violence, addiction and life in the post-industrial north-west of England. The EP 'And Salford Falls Apart' first drew wide attention. Onstage, the physical movement is as central as the vocals.
