Henry Turner Jr. is a name that you’ll already know if you live down in the USA, Louisiana way. A musician and entrepeneur, Henry Turner Jr. has made great steps to improve his community and give where he can. He’s even been awarded an honourary Louisiana ambassadorship in recognition of his efforts! Around his neck of the woods, he’s a living legend. Not only is he a musician but also a composer, producer and promoter. Henry has been accredited to creating a unique and contemporary music style labelled as a mixture of Louisiana Reggae, Soul, Funk and Blues.

Henry possesses a rich baritone voice which produces a soulful and emotive tone to his ballads and catchy dance songs. Henry’s ability to incorporate a mixture of blues, soul and funk in his guitar compositions has resulted in a series of unique, upbeat and unforgettable songs.

Henry has produced sixteen singles and eight CDs, releasing them through his own record company ‘Hit City’ records. This has led to his music being featured in several independent feature films, commercials, compilation projects and highly rated television shows. It is said you can find Henry at the same place every Thursday night, in his listening room doing his thing.
