Holly Herndon is an avant-garde composer, musician, and sound artist whose experimental work blurs the boundaries between digital innovation and traditional vocal techniques. She was born in Tennessee but spent significant time in Berlin, a city known for its vibrant electronic music scene, which has greatly influenced her work. Herndon is recognized for incorporating the aesthetics of the technological age into her music, singing over layers of electronic textures, and integrating computer-generated sounds with her classical training in vocal performance.

Herndon's discography includes the crucial albums "Movement" (2012), "Platform" (2015), and the more recent "PROTO" (2019), which showcase her evolution as an artist adept at exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and human expression. With "PROTO", Herndon broke new ground by collaborating with an AI named Spawn, inviting listeners to consider the future of co-creation between humans and machines. Tracks like "Godmother" and "Body Sound" further exemplify her innovative use of sound design, pushing the envelope of what contemporary music can be. Her ability to convert complex concepts into auditory experiences has established Herndon as a unique voice in the electronic music scene, as she continues to challenge the ways in which we understand and interact with technology through sound.
