Haiden Henderson - The Dumblond Tour

Haiden Henderson is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer based in California, who redefines the look and sound a modern male pop star can have. Standing two metres tall, his imposing stature contrasts sharply with a powerful falsetto, capable of being at once intimate, delicate and explosive. Electric guitar in hand, he blends distorted guitars, hip-hop rhythms, R&B influences and bright pop sensibility to create music conceived as much for the dance floor as for the bedroom.

His debut album, bleach (Lava/Republic Records), explores sex, masculinity, desire and self-discovery with a singular perspective. Drawing on the pop, rock and R&B imaginations of artists such as Prince, Iggy Pop and Justin Timberlake, Haiden seeks less to revive the traditional self-assured male sex symbol than to reinvent him. He questions notions of domination, submission, vulnerability and control, while injecting into pop a measure of spontaneity, humour and unapologetic sexuality.

Created with Benny Cassette, who has worked with SZA, John Legend and Miguel among others, bleach includes the tracks "freak for y ou", "domino", "i wanna be your girl" and "dumblond". With tens of millions of streams, headline tours selling out across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, and a loyal global community, the "Haider Nation", Henderson has built his career through projects such as Good Grief!, Choke on My Heart, lover boy and tension.

With bleach, he dispenses with perfection and expectations to deliver his most provocative and personal work to date, built around a deceptively simple idea: youth, sex and self-discovery are supposed to be fun.
