Hi there! My name is Henri Gaston, and I'm a 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from North Yorkshire. Music has been an essential part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether I’m creating, performing, or simply listening, music is the heart of everything I do. Over the years, it has shaped who I am as an artist and continues to fuel my passion. I perform as a solo artist, usually with an acoustic or electric guitar, and I specialize in soulful covers of songs from all eras—everything from classic hits of the ‘70s to today’s chart-topping tracks. One thing I pride myself on is bringing an energetic and interactive approach to my performances. I truly love connecting with my audience, and I make it a point to engage with them when the setting allows it. It’s that energy exchange that makes live music so special, and I always strive to create a memorable experience for everyone in the room. Although I’ve been performing professionally for almost two years, my love for music began long before I ever took the stage. Writing music and lyrics was something I started doing at a very young age, and it wasn’t long before I fell in love with performing live as well. It’s incredible how both of those passions have shaped me into the artist I am today, even when it’s mostly covers. Each performance teaches me something new and helps me refine my craft. Throughout my journey, I’ve been fortunate enough to have some amazing experiences. One of the most memorable was performing in front of 2,000 people in Manchester. There’s nothing quite like the energy of a big crowd, and it was a moment I’ll never forget. I’ve also had the privilege of headlining a show with my band at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds, which was a fantastic opportunity to showcase both my original work and my arrangements of well-loved songs. Another standout moment was supporting jazz singer Eve Buckley at The Domino in Leeds, which allowed me to step outside my usual comfort zone and perform alongside incredible talent. In the two years I’ve been performing professionally, I’ve had nothing but great feedback from the venues and clients I’ve worked with. It’s been incredibly rewarding to hear how much people enjoy my performances and how my energy resonates with different crowds. Whether I’m playing at intimate venues or large-scale events, I always put my heart into every show. I’m always excited to work with new people and take on new opportunities, so if you're looking for an artist who brings both passion and professionalism to the stage, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you need an acoustic set for a cozy evening or an energetic performance for a larger event, I’m ready to bring my soulful sound and love for music to your next event!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I always try to bring energy and connect with people rather than just churning out songs. When it comes to bars and public venues- clients like that I attract a bit of a crowd and add to the atmosphere, getting people singing along etc. When it comes to private do's I always try to make sure the vibe is right and everyone is having a good time.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I've played at all kinds of places, fancy spots like Grentley Hall and Rudding Park, The Majestic Hotel in Harrogate. For my original stuff, I've played shows around Leeds at Headrow House, The Domino, Hyde Park Book Club, Northern Guitars. Also a lot of local bars and restaraunts splaying covers uch as the den, The Four Leaf, North Bar + More!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

When it comes to performing and singing, I'm definitely influenced by soul greats such as stevie wonder, otis redding Jackson 5 etc. But also more new school folks such as Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak and Jack Johnson.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

It's a random one but I supported UK Rapper Digga D on his tour in a Manchester a few years ago and played in front of 2,000 people. This summer I'm booked to play Glaze-n-bury festival which should be big too!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes I do provide a DJ for an additional cost depending on the timings!

How much time do you need to set up?

It only takes me about half an hour to set up and sound check, but If the occasion is a private event with guests it works best for me to set up before people arrive! Same deal with the full band but takes around an hour to set up and sound check.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

yes of course! You can also request for me to learn up to 3 new songs for your event if given enough notice.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes I provide everything!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes if given enough notice!
