Honey Bxby Talks Music, Identity, and What Hispanic Heritage Month Means to Her

As Hispanic Heritage Month shines a spotlight on Latin voices shaping culture today, rising star Honey Bxby stands out as one of the most authentic and fearless. Blending R&B, soul, and Latin rhythm, the New Jersey native channels her heritage into every note — turning personal stories into universal anthems.

In an exclusive conversation with HOT 97, Honey Bxby opens up about how her upbringing influences her sound, the importance of representation in music, and what it truly means to celebrate her roots while paving her own lane in the industry.

How does your Hispanic heritage influence your sound and artistry?
My heritage shows up in everything I do. I grew up surrounded by so much energy and that naturally finds its way into my music. Whether it’s the way I sing certain melodies or the attitude I bring to a record, that influence is always in there. It’s part of my DNA, so even when I’m not thinking about it, it comes through.

Are there any traditions or cultural values from your background that shape the way you create or perform?
Family and community are huge in my culture, and that plays a big part in how I move. Everything I do isn’t just for me, it’s for my family. I wanna be able to give them the world one day so it makes me wanna work harder.

What does Hispanic Heritage Month personally mean to you?
It’s a reminder to celebrate who we are. For me, it’s about honoring my roots and showing love to the people who made it possible for artists like me to have a voice.

How do you see Latin culture shaping the future of music right now?
Latin culture is everywhere in music right now. Like, Bad Bunny is literally doing the Super Bowl! it’s influencing every genre.

Is there a song in your catalog that feels the most personal to you? Why?
“Broken Mirrors” feels really personal to me. It came from a real place and how it feels dealing with my own personal struggles in silence. It’s the first time I opened up like that on a record that has been released.

Do you think there’s enough representation of Afro-Latin or diverse Latin identities in mainstream media?
I think we’re making progress, as I said before a Latin artist, one of the biggest artist in the world is doing the Super Bowl! That says so much in itself.

What message do you hope young Hispanic fans take away from seeing you succeed?
That they can do anything and I want them to see that you don’t have to change who you are to shine. Who you are is your power.

If your culture had a “sound,” what would it be?
It would sound like love, rhythm, and attitude all mixed together.

How do you use your platform to celebrate your roots?
I try to keep my culture present in everything from how I speak, to the visuals I create, to the music itself. I love showing pride in my background in ways that feel natural to me, even if it’s through little details.

One word to describe how you feel during Hispanic Heritage Month?

Proud.

What’s next for Honey Bxby?
More music, more stories, more growth. I’m in a space where I want to push myself creatively and keep giving people the real me. I’ve got a lot to say, & I’m ready for the world to hear it.

As Honey Bxby continues to carve her own space in music, she stands as a reminder of how culture, confidence, and creativity can coexist beautifully.
