Henry was born in New York but was running Herbie Herbert’s Sy Klopps Studios in San Francisco for many years prior to moving to Ibiza. His vision to build a studio on an island came from a desire to get away from city life and he felt that the island most in need of a professional recording studio was Ibiza.
