HENESYKIM, is a 27-year-old New York native and Dominican artist whose music reflects the vibrant duality of her upbringing and creative style. Growing up immersed in New York’s diverse cultural landscape, she was shaped by the city’s fast-moving energy and its role as the birthplace of hip hop, while her Latin roots exposed her to artists like Aventura, Don Omar, Ivy Queen, and Shakira. This blend of influences comes through in her sound, playful, youthful, and influenced by Spanglish and dembow rhythms, often incorporating unexpected elements like video-game sounds.
Her music is a celebration of fun and authenticity, empowering women to enjoy music that is entertaining while remaining genuine. This ethos extends to her visuals, particularly with her breakout track “Coco Mango Cherry”, a fun summer anthem for her and her friends that also pays homage to female bosses and the Coco Mango Cherry lady, a woman hustling on the streets of NYC.
She has also made her mark in fashion, modeling for brands including Kith and Bose, blending her personal style with her artistic identity. Whether through her bold style or her music, she channels her dual nature, blending tomboy energy with feminine expression while staying true to herself. HENESYKIM’s world celebrates community, and brings the streets of New York and her Dominican heritage to life.
“I feel like the more authentic you are with your work, the more people understand the world you’re building, and it doesn’t have to be forced because when you are truly yourself, it flows and people can see it instantly.”
