South London pianist Ashley Henry is inspired by a wide range of audio and visual artists, ranging from Sinead Harnett, ZuZu, Era Istrefi, Freddie Mercury, and Dreezy. While his style is deeply rooted in jazz, Henry likes to explore a variety of sonic worlds, making him a “composer equally at home in post-bop and neo-soul,” (Clash).
He incorporates beats, hip hop, punk and grime into his work, creating a reflection of the alpha-jazz narrative that extends beyond different genres and generations. “Ashley Henry shows us how to dig deep into our core, his stylist piano playing is unique, full of emphasis, drama and poignancy,” (Jazz in Europe).

“My music is a straight-up reflection of who I am, London in all its mixed-up glory. The immigrant in me has musical roots that are traced back to the 1600s, so it’s important my music today reflects that jazz alpha narrative across different genres and generations”
Ashley Henry
“Multi-layered vibrations born from a mutual respect of past musical idioms and future musical legacies”
