TESS HENLEY is a singer, songwriter and producer. She began classical piano training at age three, and was dissecting harmonies by five. In 2014, the Washington-native was selected from over 10,000 songwriters as the winner of Guitar Center’s National Artist Discovery Program. As a result, Henley released her Wonderland EP, and made her national television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2015. After a four-year hiatus, Tess Henley released her new self-produced EP, BETTER. “I took a hiatus because I needed change. I wanted to give myself space to be creative and that takes time. I pressed refresh in a lot of ways. Life and art are really interlaced for me, so it feels like a natural course of progression. Musically, I experimented more and broadened my perspectives in the creative process.” Executive produced by Jesse Boykins III, the 5-track EP marks a new chapter in Tess’ musical journey and not only is the most compelling work of her career, but also the most recognized. The title track was featured on HBO’s Insecure, ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, Apple TV’s Mystic Quest, and Google’s Launch Night In. Additionally, “Dean Martin” was used in Ralph Lauren’s 2019 Christmas ad campaign. Following BETTER, Henley released a holiday 2-pack, and has two full-length albums in the works. ‘Paramount’, an audio-picture series hitting on the realities of life, love, and relationships is set to roll out in summer of 2022. She says both albums “explore new themes and musical colors.”
