Holly Cinnamon is a queer femme-inist lez actor, singer-songwriter and embodiment educator from Edmonton, Canada, currently based in New York and Toronto. As an actor, she is best known as Julie Barnes in Daredevil (2018) and for Hocus Pocus 2 (2022). They identify as a queer gender-fluid femme and use she/ they pronouns.
Holly has been singing and writing songs since they can remember, but only during the pandemic, when their acting career was on hold, did they transition their creative energy to songwriting. They self-produced and released five singles in 2022 through their record label, The Female Gayze, and they are currently working on their first full-length album with Plaid Dog Studios in Boston. They collaborate with arranger and musician Matthew Lowy.
Holly is inspired by her experiences as a queer woman & trauma survivor, her relationship to her body, and cool women throughout history. Their lyrics are definitively queer and their sound is inspired by embodied experiences and environmental sounds. Her song “Ride Sally Ride” explores America’s first female astronaut’s journey to space in 1983 and her coming out in her personal life upon return to Earth. Their latest release "Small Town Queer" is about their experience growing up queer in rural Alberta, Canada.
As an actor, she has appeared Off-Broadway and in TV and film, most recently working as a stand-in for Shiv Roy on Seasons 3 and 4 of Succession, before booking a principal role in Season 4.
Holly also teaches yoga and Alexander Technique to performers and the general public through their business Teaching Presence, based in Hell's Kitchen and offering weekly classes online.
