Honey Bxby is redefining what it means to be raw, real, and relentlessly rising. The New Jersey-born singer/songwriter has quickly become one of the most magnetic new voices in R&B; an artist whose pen cuts sharp and whose authenticity resonates across every corner of her growing fanbase. Her ascent hasn’t been accidental; it’s been intentional. Every verse reflects a woman fully rooted in her truth while shaping a sound that feels both nostalgic and fiercely new.
Much like the iconic artists she grew up studying, Honey Bxby knows that vulnerability, storytelling, and edge can live in the same breath. She blends genres with the confidence of someone who understands her power. Her voice sits comfortably between R&B’s soft glow and hip-hop’s bite, delivering narratives that are equal parts sensual and cinematic. She even defines herself as a “rapper in a singer’s body.”
Fans are responding loudly. Honey Bxby has already amassed 57.4M+ global streams, a milestone that represents just how deeply her music is resonating beyond the Tri-State scene she grew up in. Her Warner Records debut EP, Raw Honey, showcases the full spectrum of her artistry across 11 tracks, from slow-burn confessions to bold declarations of independence. Standout singles like “Left Eye,” a ferocious breakup anthem built on Mobb Deep’s “Quiet Storm,” and its remix with Lil’ Kim, prove Honey can honor the legends while carving out her own lane. “3AM” ft. Toosii doubles down on her sultry late-night signature, “Think I Might” fires a warning shot to any ex who underestimated her, and “Right On Time” remains a fan-favorite for its dreamy, timeless feel. Features from Coi Leray, Toosii, Lola Brooke, and Wesley Franklin round out an EP rich with edge.
Her rise hasn’t just been digital; it’s been undeniable across stages and screens. Honey was named BET Amplified Live Artist for July 2025 and delivered a standout performance during the 2025 BET Awards Pre-Show, marking another defining moment in her breakout year. She’s become a force on the road lighting up stages for Essence Festival’s main stage, Rock on the Block, Summer Jam, DJ Skam Artist, and providing direct support for both SainT JHN and Sexyy Red. Her versatility also extends beyond the mic, with major campaign moments including the NYX Mixtape Campaign and multiple festival appearances that continue to cement her place as an artist built for longevity.
In an industry that demands both evolution and endurance, Honey Bxby is proving she’s here not just to participate but to shift the landscape. Her hustle is evident and her trajectory is only moving upward. Raw Honey is just the beginning; the world is catching on to the sweetness and the sting that makes Honey Bxby impossible to ignore.
As Honey Bxby steps into her next era of artistry, her journey has been shaped by vulnerability and self-reinvention. Honey views this new chapter as a necessary shedding, one that allowed her to create from a deeper, more personal place. With her latest EP, Broken Mirrors, she embraced a creative reset that opened the door to storytelling beyond love and heartbreak.
“Broken mirrors in particular felt good and releasing to start making music talking about other issues and things I go through outside of love and relationships in general,” she expressed. “I think with this EP the response was very amazing, a lot of people really enjoyed it. A lot of people actually just commented on the growth of it all. To just see me from my first EP to now, the change in production, the change of the way the music sounds, and all of those things of that nature. Just to see more people come support and seeing new fans and supporters pop up, it feels really good.”
Embracing her truth has become one of the most liberating parts of her artistic evolution. Much like the emotional clarity that fuels great storytellers, she has stepped into a space where honesty isn’t just a choice; it’s a power. Her newest body of work reflects that rawness, a space where she no longer filters her experiences or softens her edges to make them more digestible. She recognizes the magnitude of her voice, especially as a woman navigating an industry that often asks women to shrink themselves. With that realization, she continues to deliver her truth with a confidence that fuels her artistry even further.
“It feels good to just speak on certain things, experiences, and topics unfiltered. Just like very unapologetic,” she shared. “I just say anything and I don’t care. Because it’s fact. If this is how I feel, this is how I feel. If this is what I did, this is what I did. If this is what I’m going through, this is what I’m going through. So it feels good to have the power as a women to say whatever I want to say and know that 7 billion people in the world, half of that is women and the other half are probably people that went through the same thing as me anyway. That’s powerful. It’s very powerful. Like I’m going to say it now and this is how I’m going to say it … People still like it so it’s like fuel the fire!”
In the midst of her evolution, she’s learned to hold space for both the frustration of wanting more and the gratitude for how far she’s come. Reflecting on that duality, she shared a truth that many rising artists quietly carry. Her honesty reveals a deeper understanding of growth, how success shifts as you do. What once looked like a dream becomes the new baseline, and every new milestone comes with a fresh horizon to chase. Still, when she steps back and views her life through the eyes of her younger self, the gratitude pours in.
“There’s some days where I’m like fuk I’m not where I want to be, then there’s other days I’m like wow I’m where I wanted to be 5 years ago,” she reflected. “Now that I’m in a different position of course I want to be somewhere else. But when I hit that mindset, like damn I really came so far. I used to dream about being in this position, living the way I am, and being able to do what I love every day. It’s just like, fck all y’all to everybody that ever said something bad about me, talked down on me, or thought I couldn’t do it. Aha Aha like yes, very much so Aha Aha nana booboo down!”
Her journey has been as much about self-discovery as it has been about music, and even her moniker carries a deeply personal significance. Reflecting on her musical aspirations and inspirations, she shared, “I’d love to collaborate with Drake, Kehlani, SZA, Bryson Tiller. I think that would be a full circle moment for me because that’s how I got my name from a Bryson Tiller song. That would be crazy. In high school Bryson Tiller had dropped this song Honey and I knew when I graduated I was going to do everything I wanted to do as soon as I’m out of school. But I need an alias, I need a different name. I didn’t want to go by my government because everyone is going to chop and screw my name up. I didn’t want to deal with years of torment again, I’ve been doing it in school for like 18 years,” she said. “So he dropped it and I was so obsessed with the song … he’s describing this girl and how she wears these gold chains … He was calling her Honey and I was like that’s me! I bleached my hair blonde at the time and it was grassy as f*ck because I didn’t tone it and it was like a weird honey blonde color. I was like yeah I’m calling myself honey and that’s how I got my name. I ran with it.”
Her philosophy centers on staying ahead of the curve while cultivating a foundation of trust and support. “Honestly, just keep working. I’m learning and really starting to grasp the concept of trying to work harder than the next person,” she advised. “There’s always someone 10 steps ahead of you. So, you have to stay on that. And gathering a really good team, people that believe in you as much as you believe in yourself. That will get you further than you imagine, literally.”
