Bursting onto the scene with horns a’blazin and a set of pipes that will not be denied, Seattle’s Tess Henley reveals her new single and music video, From The Get Go.
Taken from her forthcoming debut album High Heels & Sneakers, produced by The Roots’ Dice Raw with additional production from Khari Mateen (The Roots, Jill Scott, J*DaVeY), the track gives a preview of great things to come from the emerging singer / pianist.
Having already opened for Jill Scott and Anthony Hamilton, Henley is no stranger to her genre (and a bit of an insider favorite). The Suzuki trained pianist (she began lessons at age 3) has also won multiple awards including 2011 Budweiser Dallas Superfest Contest $25,000 Grand Prize Winner, 2011 Soul Tracks International Song Competition Winner, an Independent Music Award for Best R&B Song and top three honors at the prestigious John Lennon 2011 International Songwriting Competition.
