Features : Henry Frasia Soothes Long-distance Woes in Latest Single ‘JFK’

Henry began making music during the pandemic, setting up a makeshift studio. “My sister and brother started doing music and told me to try it out. I was hesitant at first but did it for fun. Then I started to really enjoy it and had a great time. I kept making music and improved a lot,” shares Henry. When he felt comfortable sharing his music with people, he did just that.

Flying across the country, Henry Frasia traveled from his Connecticut home to Los Angeles for music training. There, he met music industry professionals, including producer and artist, Austin Sexton. The two began working together, dropping Henry’s last single, “Slow,” in 2021, along with a music video.

Following the release of his previous single, Henry took a short break and is now returning stronger than ever. Henry is no stranger to the stage, having performed in many plays and musicals over the years. “My mom says, ‘you always know Henry’s home because you can hear him singing from the garage,” he jokes.

Inspired by major pop artists, from Justin Bieber to Shawn Mendes, and R&B and rap artists like Drake and Bryson Tiller, Henry Frasia weaves what inspires him into a sound uniquely his own. “I take ideas and mold my own stuff,” shares Henry of how his influencers have led to his own inspired moments.

His upcoming single, “JFK,” is a song about long-distance relationships. “It’s about me going to LA for song camps and happening to leave a person behind. It was hard and difficult to feel connected to them across the country—yet I was thinking about the person all the time.” The song is easy to connect with because it’s a feeling so many have encountered in a lifetime.

The emotional complexity comes from not only missing said person, but going on to wonder, “is it even worth it?” Henry adds, “I don’t know how to feel, because you’re cross country, but I still want to be in your presence. I still want to see you on FaceTime and hear your voice. This song is about long-distance relationships and navigating through that.”

Through his song, Henry hopes to help people feel less alone in their feelings—especially feelings that aren’t clearcut.

When it comes to writing music, Henry Frasia has a preferred writing process. “Usually, my producer will start a loop, and I’ll freestyle melodies on it. Then, I take what I like, and piece them together. Then I’ll write lyrics to it.” There are times when Henry arrives with a concept in mind; other times, he’ll let the beat take him where it’s meant to go.

“I have so many different sounds and songs to share. I know I have something for everyone,” tells Henry Frasia. “I want to create music that people can relate to and music that people will have a great time listening to. Music is really powerful. The words are powerful, but also the melodies and how you can change them to make someone feel a certain way. I want listeners to feel empowered. You’re not alone. Everyone’s going through something.”
