Born and raised in North London, Hohnen Ford grew up immersed in London’s vibrant Jazz scene, becoming fixated on instrumental jazz music of the 20th Century and later studying Jazz at the Royal Academy of Music.
Since graduating, Hohnen Ford has been developing a unique and timeless approach to songwriting drawing on influences from the Great American songbook to artists such as Joni Mitchell.
Whilst writing and recording her debut release, Hohnen Ford cultivated a devoted online audience through performances at her piano, live-streamed from her home to millions each week.
Taking confidence from these performances she set about creating her first release, a combination of self-written songs and collaborations with the likes of Matt Maltese, creating a collection of intimate songs recorded at home, on the very same piano they were written on.
Following a string of sold out London shows, her second EP, recorded with Luca Caruso (of beabadoobee) is set for release in 2024.
