Henderson initially enrolled to study aerospace engineering and interned at SpaceX before transferring to the USC Thornton School of Music. During his first year in Los Angeles, he lived out of his car while saving money and developing his songwriting. The following year, an acoustic clip of "Can't Hurt Me" accumulated nearly 10 million views online, and "Sorry to Your Next Ex" reached 20 million global streams, propelling his debut EP Good Grief! past 50 million global streams. In 2023, he released his sophomore EP Choke on My Heart, which included the singles "Fresh Blood" and "Pretty Little Addict", and signed with LAVA/Republic Records.

In 2024, Henderson released the lover boy EP, which included "hell of a good time" and surpassed 25 million streams. In August 2024, Henderson joined Chandler Leigthon on her Sick Tour. In September 2024, he released the single "Sweat".

In August 2025, Henderson released the EP tension, followed by the deluxe edition tension (heightened) in November. The deluxe edition included "Parasite", a collaborative single with MICO that the two co-wrote after Henderson reached out upon hearing an early clip of the track. He also completed his first sold-out European headline tour in support of the EP.

Musical style and influences Henderson's music combines elements of indie pop, pop rock, and alternative pop. He has cited Daniel Caesar, Sam Fender, and John Mayer as songwriting influences, and FINNEAS and Justin Timberlake as more recent inspirations, alongside classic performers such as Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong.
