ABOUT

Long before she could form a sentence, Kalen Henry was a singing machine with music running through her veins.

Singing was not so much a hobby for Kalen as it was an undeniable urge to partake in the world of music around her. This was largely encouraged by her father Trey Henry, a professional bassist who has dedicated more than 40 years of his life to the Los Angeles Session Musicians. 

Kalen’s decision to join junior and high school choirs marked the beginning of her official adventure into music. It was in this environment where she gained experience in public performance, utilizing music theory, and honing her skill of perfect pitch. Kalen performed several choral solos alongside her father, many consisting of Nat King Cole bass-voice arrangements. Such experiences inspired the duo to transform their hobby-like sessions of music collaboration into professional studio recording, where Kalen embraced the literal creation of music that takes place behind the glass.

Over the past ten years, this father-daughter duo has contributed three outstanding cover-song albums to the realm of music, titled “Not Forgotten” (2018), “Blurred” (2023), and “Obscured” (2023). The results of these albums are timeless sensory experiences full of heart and soul— ones that would certainly not exist without the brilliant contributions of some of the most accomplished musicians in Los Angeles.  The duo recently began a journey to release their long-awaited original material, beginning with the 2024 release of their single “Look Around,” followed by the April 2025 release of their carefully compiled 5-song EP titled “Catalyst.” The spectrum of sounds, colors, instruments, genres, and lyrics showcase the versatility of their musicianship and their dedication to achieving a conceived artistic vision.

Since beginning her adventure into music, Kalen has had the honor of attending the 2017 Grammy’s with The Tierney Sutton Band; signing a contract with Blue Canoe Records, a jazz-focused record label that helped promote and distribute her “Not Forgotten” album; working with both The Chemistry Set and Sonic Rooster production labels; recording background vocals for several independent artists; and performing at local venues alongside her father and the incomparable LA Session Musicians community.

Kalen and Trey plan to keep spreading their music throughout venues all over Southern California. As for their next recording project, Kalen has set sights on a release of 20-plus original songs and several bass-voice covers.

Indeed, this music-making machine has been turned on for good, and there will always be more songs to come.
