I love to collaborate.
Creating with other artists — across different sounds, cultures, instruments and countries — is one of my greatest joys. Here are a few of my favourites. If you would love to create together, get in touch below.
The Frankfurt S-Bahn session
A spontaneous jam on a Frankfurt S-Bahn train with Kiddo Kat — and a random passenger, Ozzy Lino, who couldn't help but jump right in. One of Heidi's best-loved viral moments.
With Astola
Heidi joins Spanish pop and rumba star Astola in Spain — two worlds of rhythm coming together, warm and full of fire.
Say a Little Prayer
A cajon-and-voice take on the Aretha Franklin classic — stripped back, groovy and full of soul.
Smile Away the Pain
An original with composer and guitarist Christoph Zongen in Germany — a gentle song about smiling through the hard days.
New York with Hurtwood House
Creating and performing in New York with the students of Hurtwood House College — passing the rhythm on to the next generation.
The Hangbox Project
Heidi's cajon, percussion and voice meeting hang drum (handpan) players from all over the world. Here are two of them.
The Traveling Box Diaries
Heidi has long dreamt of travelling for a set season to different countries, one after another — going from place to place, collaborating with musical people who follow her, and turning her vast online community into real, in-person community.
Journalling and filming the whole journey across her YouTube and social channels, creating an album from the collaborations, and performing live along the way — a dream to carry the cajon to a whole continent, country by country.
Please bear in mind Heidi is very busy — with Cajonbox, recording new albums, writing songs, giving workshops and lessons, and filming. These collaborations are not happening right now, given all the current priorities — but she is looking forward to doing more in the near future.
