Born and raised in Solna, Sweden. Moved to California in 1996 in pursuit of The Blues, which was in his blood from birth. Closet guitar player/shower singer since early teens, but has been playing seriously since 1998 and has studied under acclaimed blues master John Garcia at School of The Blues, as well as Jammin' Jamie, Sam Varela, and Chris Cain in recent years. Founded the power trio Harvey Sparks as the lead singer/guitar player. Musical roots firmly planted in jazz and blues, but enjoys listening to everything from flamenco to heavy rock. Henrik's guitar style has been described as jazzy with an edge, bluesy and phat, melodic and emotional with a distinctive tone. He can hold his own when singing too, with a gritty and passionate voice. Henrik found his musical soul brothers when he was invited to join The Smokin' Kingsnakes as a permanent member.
