Felix Higginbottom

Felix occupies a singular place in today’s musical landscape; a musician whose sonic imagination, global fluency, and genre-defying versatility have shaped a unique voice. His work draws on a palette of rare hand-percussion and custom-built instruments, many of his own design, creating sound worlds that audiences are unlikely to have heard or seen before. 

A chorister with world-renowned New College Choir Oxford, Felix then trained with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, Royal Academy of Music, and at King’s College London. Time in Rio de Janeiro expanded his mastery of global percussion traditions, whilst mentorship from world-renown musician Robert “Sput” Searight propelled him into international touring and recording.

Performance credits include; Grammy-winning jazz artist Snarky Puppy and Bill Laurance, The Philharmonia, London Contemporary Orchestra, Academy Of Ancient Music; and his role as featured percussion soloist under Sir Karl Jenkins in major international concerts. His recording career includes Songhoy Blues, BANKS, TEED, and Julian Lennon, as well as major film and game soundtracks including Back to Black, FIFA and Fortnite. 

As a composer he has over 50million streams and accolades including Amazon Music’s ‘Best Song of 2021’.

Alongside classical repertoire, Felix is regular performer at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, a founding member of critically acclaimed art-rock group Low Island, and currently touring with the seminal English folk band Stornoway.

Sought after as a composer, producer and soloist, his unmistakable language, at once rooted in deep tradition and boldly innovative, has made Felix one of the most compelling and fast-rising musicians of his generation.
