Hi, My Name is Tina Hendrix I am the biological Niece of Jimi Hendrix.

As we are all aware, my uncle departed some many years ago. Regardless, we as a family have maintained him in our hearts for as many years as he has been gone.  We are all so touched with the knowing that the world also keeps Jimi dear in its heart.

For the past 51 years, we have honored Jimi with an annual memorial. Biological Hendrix family members and close family friends come together with humility to embrace all that Jimi means to us. Most importantly, rounding off the day/weekend by visiting Jimi’s resting place. It’s always a beautiful, intimate affair.

Over the years, we’ve further involved ourselves in doing what we can to maintain and honor Jimi and keep him present in our lives and the lives of others through a space of authenticity; in particular; I, Tina Hendrix have founded The Hendrix Music Academy.

THE HENDRIX MUSIC ACADEMY

The Hendrix Music Academy provides free music lessons and delves into providing a deeper understanding of emotional and physical wellness for the healthy growth of our young generation who may not have otherwise had the readily made opportunities to reach their full potential in life. Through this dedicated space the children are exposed to positive role models and an environment in which to thrive.

Currently, this charity has been put in place in Jimi’s home district of Seattle to aid those in local impoverished societies. With the right resources, there is every intention to establish, grow and expand to reach others on a global scale through The Hendrix Music Academy charity ethos.

My uncle was a self taught guitarist who, as a child was raised in a less than desirable, poor community in Seattle; we have no doubt that the charity echoes the continuation of Jimi’s growth and sentiments of positively touching the souls of many others.

We've teamed with Planet Tutu Media Production House and from September 2024 we’ll be opening up my uncle’s memorial day to the world on an annual basis. This celebration will simultaneously act as a fundraiser to further assist our quest to help as many children in need whilst we feed music to the globe.
