Henri PFR, born Henri Peiffer on 26 September 1995 in Brussels, is a Belgian DJ, musician and composer.

Biography

From the age of six, he spent nine years training in classical piano and studying musical theory. It was around the age of fourteen that young Henri first became interested in electronic music.

He posted his first mixtape Summer Memories online on the "La Belle Musique" YouTube channel which, with more than 70 million views, caught the attention of Armin Van Buuren's Armada label, with which he signed his first two singles, including "Tarida".

He has collaborated with German producer Robin Schulz, for whom he remixed the track "Sugar". Together they produced "Wave Goodbye", a song which is featured on Robin Schulz's album Sugar, released in 2015

Henri's music was later released on the Sony Music label, featuring "One People", "Home" and in October 2016, "Until the End", which remained at the top of the Belgian charts for several months and went platinum in Belgium.[1]

In January 2017, he received the Pure (Belgian radio) Newcomer Award at the D6bels Music Awards.[2]

In March 2017, he filled the "Ancienne Belgique" concert hall in Brussels and his name has become a staple on posters for major music festivals (Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, etc.).

In September 2017, he was honoured by the Walloon Brabant province during the Orchid Ceremony, winning an "Orchid" in the Culture category for having contributed to the profile of the province of Walloon Brabant.[3][4][5]

In October 2017, he received the International Newcomer of the Year Award at the Fun Radio DJ Awards during the Amsterdam Dance Event.

He is behind the creation of official remixes for international artists such as Robin Schulz,[6] Lost Frequencies,[7] OMI,[8] and Editors.[9]
