Music

I have been performing on stage since the age of seven. My father Eddie Henderson played folk, blues and slave spirituals on the streets of Philadelphia and also in the Camden City school systems. My first job at the age of 10 was to sing whenever my dad made an appearance, as well as serve brownies and cocoa, at the Perimeter Coffee House in Haddonfield, NJ. I have also performed for the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Cooper River Park, and even accompanied my dad at my own elementary school.



"Want to go to the movies today?  Let's go sing on South Street for an hour, and we'll go." - Dad

When I turned 16, I began appearing on the 80's most popular dance show, Dance Party USA. By the end of my 3 year run, I had become a co-host, gained two managers, one for music and one for acting, and was on my way to releasing my first single which gained a great review in Billboard Magazine. You can even see it in the photo section of my Myspace page. I have recorded many styles of music including pop, blues, punk, jazz, soul, and house.

Now my passion includes recording orighal music with my band SOULAMITE! I'm free to express myself, dance, scream and be in control of the music. SOULAMITE! has been spotted at many fabulous dives such as Otto's Shrunken Head Tiki Bar in NYC, Ortlieb's Jazzhaus, and World Cafe Live, as well as their home base bar, Tritone.

I also love to make short films! You can find me on Tuesday nights at N. 3rd Restaurant for Fancy Pants Cinema showing my orignal shorts! (er... films)
