My name’s Henry Avalon. I was born in 1982, in South Africa, but my parents are both American. When I was
5 years old, my parents moved back to the US. I went to school in the US and lived there until I was 19. I
loved school. My teachers were very good, and I didn’t want to leave, but I left when I was 18. When I was
19, I went to Australia. I worked there for one year. I was a waiter, and I had lots of different jobs. When I was
20, I went to Europe. I traveled to many places there and saw many great things and met lots of interesting
people.
In 2003, I came back to the US. I wanted to go to college. I am interested in music, so I studied music history
at college. I love jazz, so I started a jazz band with some friends in my second year at college. We played
together a lot in cafés and restaurants, and gave small concerts. When I was 28, we played at a festival and
became very famous. When I was 30, the band finished, and I went to Hollywood. Now, I write and play
music for movies.
