H£RK

H£RK, born Jordan Lewis in Basildon, Essex, is a melodic rapper, songwriter, and producer whose sound reflects a life shaped by movement, culture, and timeless influences. Raised in Qatar from 1997 to 2005 before returning to the UK at age 8, H£RK developed a broad cultural perspective early on, an experience that continues to shape his approach to music and storytelling.

H£RK began at 13 writing songs, before teaching himself how to produce on a laptop. His DIY journey evolved into collaborations with fellow artists and producers, crafting music that fuses rap, R&B, and melodic storytelling.

His musical foundation was built at home. Inspired by 2 Pac, 50 cent, EMINEM, Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre gave a high expectation of music.
His grandfather’s role in local choirs, his mother’s disco and classic ’80s dance tracks, and his father’s love for Phil Collins all blended into a rich palette of sound. That ’80s influence still echoes in his work today, from melodic choices to production style offering a nostalgic touch within a modern, genre-fluid framework. At the same time, he was deeply immersed in the BMX and skatepark scene, where raw, underground music and street culture collided helping shape his sound and attitude as an artist.
