Sounds Like: The closest you get to Henrik's heart is the CDs made together with Rene Evald (Evald & Littauer) "Sealands", "For Your Love" & "Kærlighedens Stjernetegn". In recent years he's been preparing a solo album.
In the 70s Henrik did three albums with danish/american countryrock group "Buffalo". The album "Back On The Trail" from 1979 contains three tracks with Henrik on vocals.
In the early 80s Henrik joined legendary danish rockband Malurt when he made friends with Michael Falch. However during the recording of their third album "Black-Out" Henrik and Peter Viskinde quit to form Doraz. The music of Doraz was initially closely related to Malurt, but it soon turned into a more temporary pop-band.
From 2000 Henrik's been very active on the local northern Norwegian musicscene playing a major role in the release of singer/sonwriter Jan Arvid Johansen debut-album and working with singer Anita Karlsen. He's also been scoring documentaries and played with local bands.
As a producer Henrik has worked with danish Poul Krebs, american Peter Goldman and the band Effy & Eliten. He has also recorded in Greenland on the legendary Aasivik 1977 album and with Per Berthelsen and Juaaka.
Musically Henrik grew up with Peter Viskinde, and they share common roots. They can be heard together on several of Peter's solo-albums, ie. "Born On A Red Star" from 2002.
