Henry Wolfe (pictured above, right) started an indie band called Bravo Silva in the early 2000s, and released a handful of songs before moving on to solo efforts. Wolfe's song "Stop the Train" was featured on the Julie and Julia soundtrack, while he landed a cover on the Ricki and the Flash soundtrack (via The Oprah Magazine). The 41-year-old musician has recorded quite a few albums, including Encino and Asilomar most recently. Wolfe explained his songwriting process to Chunky Glasses back in 2012.
"The songs I write tend to be pop songs with a lyric hook — they're short, they have verses and sometimes choruses — those kind of songs seem to accommodate lyrics that are about love or about relationships in general," Wolfe said. "So, that tends to be the context for my lyrics. But, I would equate the style of writing that I do to country lyrics, where it's kind of plain-spoken language, it's direct, and a lot of the time it's about love or heartbreak."
In 2016, Wolfe shared advice for up-and-coming musicians with HuffPost UK: "No music is uncool. The music that meant most to me when I was young (like in grade school) continues to inform my songwriting. For example, when I was a kid I had a few Sting CDs. They were some of the first ones I ever bought for myself." So far, it looks like this musical outlook has worked for Wolfe.
