Henry draws influences as much from music of the past (The Beatles, The Kinks, T-Rex, Nirvana, David Bowie etc.,) and from current artists who keep pushing forward stylistically and sonically. Henry makes catchy, thoughtful and usually energetic music with a unique perspective, edge and charm, and is often compared to Ben Kweller,The Strokes and Mac DeMarco.
Henry was raised in a studio environment, his father being an engineer who worked out of Cherokee studios in Hollywood through the 1980’s and continued to record in his home studio in the Santa Cruz Mountains moving in 1989 to raise a family. Henry has been playing in bands and learning how to record music since he was a youngster. He also spends time playing drums in the touring roots-rock band, The Coffis Brothers and fronted the band My Stupid Brother.
I’m someone who’s never really felt like I fit into a scene, or could get myself to fully commit to any one thing as far as fashions and genres and scenes go. I thought it would be a fun “what-if ” sort of video if I totally committed 100% to some different vibes that I either missed the boat on or am currently missing the boat on. I bounced ideas around with director Nathan Kennedy (who directed my videos for “Alright” & “Overtime” as well as a couple videos for my old band) & we landed on a sort of surreal deep dive into my subconscious concept. Nathan’s got a brilliant mind & knew he’d be able to perform some wizardry on the video. I think it might have been the most fun video I’ve ever been a part of. I’m really proud and happy with how it came out and hope you enjoy it!
