ROCK YOUR BRAND. AMPLIFY YOUR REACH

I’m Dave Henson, founder of Henson Media. I help artists tell their stories online in ways that feel natural and true to who they are. With over twenty years in the music industry, I focus on steady growth and fan connections built to last.

DIGITAL STRATEGY THAT DRIVES GROWTH FOR ARTISTS

I’ve led digital marketing strategy for some of the most iconic names in music, including Ashes & Arrows, Crowded House, Cursive, DIIV, L.S. Dunes, elbow, Gov’t Mule, Ben Harper, Isaac Hayes, Warren Haynes, Avi Kaplan, Kodaline, Lucius, Teena Marie, Paul McCartney, John Mellencamp, Steve Perry, Grace Potter, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Allison Russell, Seether, Sia, Paul Simon, Taking Back Sunday, James Taylor, Maria Taylor, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Tanya Tucker.

At Fantasy Records and Concord, I played a key role in expanding these artists’ digital presence. Now, through Henson Media, I continue to help independent artists with innovative strategies that amplify reach and drive results.
