Henrik

Bio:

Henrik grew up in Denmark but soon found the winters and bacon a bit trivial so he opted for London and has the last five years been working like a dog. Sessions, tours and guest appearances for the likes of legend Sir George Martin, Morcheeba, Kim Richey, Lisa Mitchell to name a few has made him a sought after musician. More interesting though is his debut album 'FACTION' from November last year for which he coined the word 'Scanbient' to conjure up the style. "Sigur Ros, Bjork, Kings Of Convenience etc and myself included has this Scandinavian (and ambient) tone and there's no way of getting rid of the basics of where you're from... unless you're a fake" A shade of Elliott Smith and Eno/Bowie instrumentals can also be detected on 'FACTION' for which both THE WORD and Q has given great write ups and reviews. Henrik's an artist to be reckoned with. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
