"Henry Gardipy is of Cree descent, and at the tender age of six, it was evident that music was to be Henry's first love.  He taught himself to play the guitar and eventually the fiddle as well.  He played for family gatherings and old tyme barn dances by the time he was 11 years old. And a year later, he started singing.  He liked performing tunes from Hank Williams Sr. and many popular songs of those times.  Further encouragement from friends and family led him to perform for bigger audiences at various functions and so began Henry's career as a travelling musician."

**Excerpts from Newspaper Articles**
 
"Most recently Henry was recognized and acknowledged in the book "An Anthology of Metis Music" an album where he had the honor of being the youngest musical contributor, alongside other great Aboriginal artists.
 
After many awards and honors, Henry is a three-year Metis fiddling champion and still holds the "Reg Bouvette" trophy for best fiddler in Canada and will soon defend his title on June 21, 2003.
 
Most notably, after being recognized as one of Canada's rising starts in 1986.  Henry was offered a five-year contract in Nashville, Tennessee. But due to other circumstances, Henry was not able to accept the contract. Henry states that he has not regretted turning it down."
