Devonté Hynes talks about his fascination with found sound, working with female voices and what it means to be a black classical fan.
Born in Houston, Texas, and raised in East London, Hynes has called NYC home for close to a decade. A musical shape-shifter, his sound has evolved from dance-punk to eccentric folk to the ‘80s informed, socially-minded R&B he crafts today as Blood Orange.

Liberation of soul and mind is essential to the work of Devonté Hynes. The 2016 album, Freetown Sound, his third under the Blood Orange moniker, touches on themes including musical identity, sexuality, politics and what it means to be a black man living in America today. A proficient songwriter and collaborator, he has worked with artists ranging from Solange Knowles and Nelly Furtado to Connan Mockasin, David Byrne, Grace Jones and Kindness.
