Blackhaine, born Tom Heyes in Preston, England, is a multifaceted artist whose work spans across music, choreography, and performance art. Emerging from the North of England’s underground scene, Blackhaine first gained attention for his intense, physical dance performances that merge industrial, punk, and contemporary styles. His visceral stage presence and distinctive movement vocabulary quickly set him apart, leading to collaborations with notable musicians, directors, and fashion houses.

As a DJ and music producer, Blackhaine combines abrasive industrial soundscapes, harsh noise, drill, and experimental hip-hop, reflecting the discontent and bleak realities of post-industrial North England. His mixtapes and EPs, such as "And Salford Falls Apart" and "Armour," have been released to critical acclaim, hailed for their raw honesty, innovative production, and poetic lyricism. Thematically, his work often explores societal decay, violence, addiction, and existential angst, channeling personal and collective struggles into powerful artistic statements.

Blackhaine’s artistry isn’t confined to music; his choreography has been commissioned by brands such as Kanye West’s Yeezy and Givenchy, and he has choreographed for artists including Mykki Blanco and Pa Salieu. His multidisciplinary approach fuses brutal physicality with spoken word, challenging conventional boundaries between genres and platforms. Whether in dark clubs, art galleries, or fashion runways, Blackhaine’s performances are marked by their intensity, vulnerability, and boundary-pushing creativity, affirming his role as a key figure in the evolving landscape of British experimental art and music.
