From the moment Honey Bxby steps into a room, all eyes are on her. Bold, unapologetic, and dripping in that signature New Jersey grit, she commands attention without saying a word. But when she does speak—when she sings—there’s no denying her presence. Her sound is a fusion of raw emotion, sultry melodies, and an undeniable street edge, carving out a lane that’s entirely her own in today’s R&B landscape.

With a voice that blends honeyed sweetness with the bite of lived experience, Honey Bxby doesn’t just sing—she tells stories. What sets her apart isn’t just her vocal prowess; it’s her ability to seamlessly merge old-school soul with modern-day swagger. Whether she’s delivering silky vocals over hard-hitting beats or injecting raw emotion into classic R&B storytelling, she embodies the perfect balance of grit and grace.

Growing up in New Jersey, BET wasn’t just another channel—it was a blueprint. It shaped her dreams, her aspirations, and her belief that she could be one of the artists she admired on screen.

“I remember sitting in front of the TV, watching 106 & Park after school, knowing that one day, I’d be on that countdown,” she recalls. “BET Awards, Soul Train, all of it—it was the place to be. Seeing artists who looked like me, who came from where I came from, thriving? It made me believe I could do it too.”

Her own BET full-circle moment came last year during BET Weekend. “It was my first BET Awards, and I ended up meeting Usher at an event that weekend. His speech that night? Powerful. Even though parts were bleeped, I caught every word in real time. And then I saw Chief Keef in the same room. That was wild. I had his Finally Rich poster in my room back in sixth grade. Well, technically, I stole it from my brother’s CD, but still—that’s my man, for real.”

And when asked about her favorite BET moment? She doesn’t hesitate. “Monique’s Beyoncé performance. Hands down. She ate that. No crumbs left.”

With Left Eye, Honey Bxby set out to create an anthem for the crash outs—those moments when emotions take the wheel.

“There are plenty of women who speak for the crash outs, but they do it in a softer way. Me? I’m saying the things people don’t want to say. I’m speaking to the things people want to do—but maybe won’t actually do. And I’m saying it exactly how it needs to be said. Bold. Blunt. Unapologetic.”

Her own crash-out anthem? A surprising pick.

“It’s not the typical kind, but for a long time, it was Jaded by Drake. The way he was talking on that track? It made me want to tweak out. Get Along Better too—same vibe. That song had me feeling so hurt, I just had to act up.”

And her most chaotic crash-out moment? She laughs.

“Oh, easy. I once chased someone down ten flights of stairs. And the worst part? I was the one in the wrong. But when I’m wrong, I really crash out. No shoes on, locked myself out of my apartment, and still refused to let him leave.”

Comparisons to artists like Keyshia Cole are common, but Honey Bxby doesn’t dwell on them.

“I get it. I appreciate being mentioned alongside legendary women who paved the way. But I’d rather not be compared at all. When people do that, it’s like they put me in a box before they even get to know my sound. Instead of experiencing me, they’re looking for Keyshia in what I do. And if they don’t hear it? Now they’re disappointed over an expectation I never set.”

Sampling has become a staple in today’s music, and while Honey Bxby embraces it, she has mixed feelings.

“Back in the day, artists would sample songs that weren’t widely recognized by their generation, making them feel fresh and new. Now, we’re sampling records that were already sampled 10 or 20 years ago, and it still feels recent because we grew up on that music. If we’re going to keep sampling, we need to get more creative. Find the hidden gems. Surprise people.”

One recent revelation blew her mind.

“I just learned that Beyoncé’s Naughty Girl was a Donna Summer sample. Back when it dropped, most people had no idea. That’s how you do it.”

Social media has been a game changer for her career.

“It changed everything. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok give people direct access to new music and fresh talent. The world is huge, and now there’s space for all types of artists, all types of sounds, and all types of messages. I’ve found some of my favorite artists through social media, and I know a lot of managers and labels do the same.”

Getting Busta Rhymes on the Touchin’ remix was more than just a collaboration—it was a full-circle moment.

“When we first met, we had a long conversation—he put me on game about the industry, about longevity, about the real journey of an artist. It was the kind of talk only an OG can give you.”

What she didn’t expect was the bond they’d form.

“That’s my brother now. It’s surreal because I grew up watching him on TV, rapping along to Look At Me Now. And now? Look at me now.”

For Honey Bxby, being a powerful woman isn’t just a title—it’s a mission.

“I have a younger sister, and I want her to see firsthand that anything is possible. That our dreams—no matter how big—are within reach.”

One of the most powerful moments in her journey so far? Her Soul Train Awards experience.

“It was the kind of moment where you stop and realize—you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”
