Henry has always had a love for art and creative things since he was a young boy. In his early years of school he found a love for creating art and pursued it with enthusiasm. In 1996 a friend taught him about computers and how to build and customize them to perform faster all in the name of a PC video game called QUAKE! In the following years he found awhole new world with endless artistic and creative possibilities with the development of faster computers and software like Adobe Photoshop. During this time he saw an opportunity to begin developing his artistic skills by taking on the role of artist in the band(s) he played the drums for at the time. Not only did it make since financially for the band, but it was the catalyst that helped transform me into the graphic artist he is today. As a designer Henry strives to create out-of-the-box designs, to push the envelope, and welcome new challenges with enthusiasm.

Henry’s musical interest was sparked by playing along to Beatles and Kiss records and was later influenced by the musical styles of Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Exodus, Metallica and Slayer to name a few. Completely self-taught for the first several years, he started shaping his style in his first band Xzanthus. Eventually, he began formal training at South Bay School of Music Arts to fine-tune his skills. Henry is known as an aggressive and influential heavy metal drummer; his use of the open handed/ambidextrous technique allows him to expand his playing more creatively and helped develop his own style. He has influenced and inspired many drummers and music fans around the world.
