The musical influence originated from his family, mainly his mother, uncle & cousins, all huge music fans, which later persuaded him to purchase his first vinyl with the weekly allowance at the age of 8. Although the response for Henok was massive, he still did not feel satisfied with the mind state and lacked maturity and the preparation to be the complete musician he desired. After, Mina Hundar, Henok dropped out of high school and moved to Stockholm to continue recordings but still did not feel that his timing was right. However, that all changed in mid 2006. ....
