Taking on inspirations that reflect his London upbringing and Jamaican heritage, Ashley Henry’s genre-bending sound and collaborative practice draw from being a diligent student of the Black radical traditions. Exposed to futurism and history, pulse, restlessness and poise, the young talent naturally gravitated towards muses that have shaped his complex artistry today. From the powerful words of James Baldwin and Angela Davis to the soulful pieces of Ahmed Jamal and George Benson, Ashley’s vivid expressions of Jazz culture feel as beautiful as it does meaningful. Henry’s deep-rooted influences and visionary conviction make him one of the most exciting musicians emerging across London and beyond.
Since touring globally with Christine and the Queens and supporting Loyle Carner across the U.K., Henry has seen extensive critical acclaim from The Guardian, Evening Standard, Clash and Wonderland to name a few.
