Yinki Moon

Yinki is a singer, songwriter, and sound healer of Cantonese descent based in London. Through her music, she explores the vulnerability of shifting from hiding to shining, unearthing generational trauma, and alchemising heartbreak into healing. She blends soulful melodies with synth-pop, accompanied by state-altering resonances from her crystal singing bowls. She is deeply connected with the yin energies of the moon and channels the most loving frequency of all: her voice. Her performances compassionately invite listeners to unlock their own voice and healing through the power of sound.
