Megan Henwood (born 29 October 1987) is an English singer-songwriter from Oxfordshire.
Born Megan Rosemary Henwood in Reading, Berkshire, England, Henwood grew up in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Her first public performance was at the age of 9 at the Henley Youth Festival. As a teenager she performed both as a solo artist and with her band on the local live circuit.[1] At the age of 18, she travelled around Europe, Thailand, India, Malaysia, and Nepal – returning to the latter twice to record and perform with some of the country's musicians. She has since supported the London-based Child Action Nepal charity by donating profit from record sales.[citation needed]
Careeredit
Henwood has contributed to music therapy sessions and in 2010 she was awarded a Sue Ryder Care "Woman of Achievement" award as Performer of the Year.[2]
Her second album "Head Heart Hand" was released in July 2015. The album was produced by Tom Excell and featured Pete Thomas, Matthew Holborn, Matthew Forbes, Rich Milner, Jackie Oates, Tom Sibley, Sam Wilkinson, Tom Michell and Steve Jones. Singles from the album were featured on various BBC Radio 2 shows and Henwood performed a live session on The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe.[7] The video for Love/Loathe, the first single from the album, was premiered on The Telegraph in May 2015.[8]
Henwood's third album, "River" was released in the Autumn of 2017. Working again with producer Tom Excell, she experimented with a more electronic sound, contrasting from her last two acoustic releases. The album was praised by The Guardian who described it as 'a worldly, mature work'.[9]
