Carl Henry

Carl Henry puts the riddim in rhythm and blues. Born in Jamaica and raised in Montreal, the island crooner blends the rumble of dancehall reggae with the smooth stylings of R&B and soul. He grew up singing in a church choir; years of vocal training have shaped a voice that slinks, shudders and soars. Henry, 27, has toured all over North America and Europe, supporting U.S. stars like Mary J. Blige, De La Soul and Ashanti. Home in Canada, he earned Juno Award nominations in each of the last three years. RNB, his full-length debut, was recognized for Best R&B/Soul Recording in 2003; singles Homie’s Girl and Bare As She Dare (featuring Ce’Cile) were nominated for Best Reggae Recording in 2004 and 2005.
