About Me

Joel Henigson’s musical journey began in the vibrant town of Ashland, Oregon, where he started piano lessons at the age of four. By eight, he discovered a deep connection with the guitar, igniting his passion for music's ability to challenge and inspire creativity. Growing up, Joel explored a wide range of styles, including blues, jazz, classical, and acoustic, laying a versatile foundation that continues to influence his musical path.

Joel attended an alternative school in Ashland before earning his GED at 16 and enrolling at Southern Oregon University. His hunger for musical growth led him to Berklee College of Music, where he studied Songwriting and earned his Bachelor's degree in 2009. Since then, Joel has dedicated his life to writing, performing, and producing music, continually pushing creative boundaries.
