Jacob Henry

Jacob Henry, who was born in Philadelphia and currently resides in Los Angeles, is the Lead A&R of Monstercat Silk, formerly known as Silk Music (2008-2021). In February 2021, Vancouver and Los Angeles-based label Monstercat officially announced its acquisition of Silk Music and formation of the Monstercat Silk brand, under Jacob's direction. In 2022, Monstercat Silk received the Best Label nomination from DJ Mag and launched several branded playlists on leading global meditation app Calm, as well as a label showcase at Amsterdam Dance Event.

Jacob has been DJ’ing throughout the United States and beyond since 2000 and composing original electronic music since 2009. Highlights of Jacob’s discography include the poignant melodic house offerings "Hopeful Romantic” and "Yesterday's Tears" (w/ Approaching Black), as well as the more anthemic “Serengeti" (w/ Coastal) and affecting "Words Unspoken," a collaboration with global melodic & progressive house leader Shingo Nakamura.

Jacob's productions and compilation series have received radio support from the likes of Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren and have been featured in the pages of both DJ Mag and Mixmag. On behalf of Silk, Jacob appeared as the featured guest on episode #124 of Above & Beyond's acclaimed "Group Therapy" radio show.

Jacob is the founder and co-host of Monstercat Silk's weekly radio show, Monstercat Silk Showcase. The show is now a Top 100 global iTunes podcast and can be heard on a wide variety of international radio stations, streaming services, and podcasting platforms.
