Portrait of Carson Henley

Carson Henley

Carson Michael Henley is an American born singer/songwriter from Seattle, WA., born Aug 8, 1985. Though he’s played piano since age three, Carson did not start singing until being coaxed into a high school talent show. He has now found his expressive, fine-grit voice…belting out catchy, award winning piano-driven rock (Green Eyed Soul was named a TOP 25 ROCK CD OF 2008 by Indie-Music.com).

Recorded at Soul Sound Studios and written from top to bottom by Carson, the debut album showcases his creative talents, upbeat arrangements and soulful lead and background vocals. Label this sound what you will, Green Eyed Soul is just really fun music!

Carson’s mother, a musician herself, sang onstage nightly while very pregnant with him… possibly explaining his innate feel for rhythm. His award winning CD is now receiving airplay in Europe and the States, and his music was recently added to the play rotations at the popular Pandora.com, Play Network (Starbucks, Armani, GAP & others), and Pure Play Music (European stores).

Carson says Green Eyed Soul “is a collection of singles”, but stops short of labeling each with a meaning. “I like to let others interpret the music as they feel it, and not be so literal about specific song motivations, because everyone sees their own meaning.” An entertaining live performer, Carson Henley’s fresh sound confirms his rich, soulful roots; but the distinctive, memorable melodies are the fruit of the vine.
