Kevin Henry has made an impact on the music scene since he moved to California, garnering praise from both local and national media. Called "one of the town's hottest live acts" by Los Angeles Times, Henry was also named one of the "Hot 100 Unsigned Artists" by Music Connection, won the Los Angeles Music Award for "Outstanding Male Singer/Songwriter," and has had several songs appear on television, including his song "Next Year" on NBC's Friends.

A modern day piano man, Henry's style of writing and performing has attracted an audience of diverse musical tastes. A recent LA Weekly article compared Henry to pop icons Elton John, Billy Joel, Supertramp and New Order, before concluding with, "Henry has his own marvelous sound."

Henry regularly headlines the main stage at House Of Blues, has performed in numerous showcases and charity events, and has toured both the U.S. and Europe.

Kevin Henry was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, once described as "15 square miles surrounded by reality". An ideal environment for the young artist, Henry took full advantage: singing and playing the piano by the age of 4, publishing his first song at 8, and performing regularly in civic theatre productions.

At the age of 18, Henry moved to New York City's East Village where he expanded his creative development under the sharper realities of the city. After graduating cum laude from N. Y.U. with a degree in Dramatic Literature, Henry formed the band, "GOTHAM", released the CD Invisible Ghetto, and toured the U.S. and Europe. Henry went on to collaborate on the trip-hop album Outlet by R&B producer Joe Wize, and wrote and produced 3 songs for RCA recording artist, Tina Moore.
