English singer-songwriter and visual artist active since 2010; themes of vulnerability and anxiety; releases include Dear..., Birthdays, Romantic Works (with cellist Ren Ford), Kindly Now, Monument, and House Party; composed Six Lethargies for strings and the Supernova soundtrack; publicly known for severe stage fright.

Three reviews chart Keaton Henson’s tender terrain: the unflinching intimacy of Dear..., the heartbreak narratives and quiet eruptions of Birthdays, and the neoclassical hush of Romantic Works with Ren Ford’s cello. Comparisons span Max Richter to Philip Glass, yet the voice remains singular—fragile, candid, and disarming.
