Who is Henry Cole?
A skilled producer and lyricist, Henry Cole inhabits the fertile ground between hip-hop's raw expressionism and R&B's melodic soul. Drawing inspiration from storytellers like Isaiah Rashad and Earl Sweatshirt while channeling the production innovation of JPEGMAFIA and The Alchemist, his sound merges synth-heavy arrangements, boom bap drum patterns, and elements of trap instrumentation. Known for thought-provoking social commentary and introspective narratives, Henry Cole has carved out his own lane with two acclaimed EPs ('Dreamland Electronica' and 'JV') and standout self-produced tracks like 'Corcoran' and 'PETRICHOR.' Hailing from Durham NC, his hands-on approach to production and performance has made waves across North Carolina's music scene, from Cat's Cradle to Transfer Co Ballroom, establishing him as an artist who bridges traditional hip-hop craftsmanship with bold experimental vision.
