(a Member of the Clinton Global Initiative) is met or exceeded. Breakthrough
is a international human rights organization that uses media, education and
pop culture to promote values of dignity, equality and justice. More details

Henta wins second place in electronic mantra's Synthesizer Contest
with her entry called 'Butterfly' which can be heard on the Podsafe Music Network

Henta will be collaborating with Kevin Sawka, who will be remixing one of her tracks called 'nothing quite like' which can presently be heard on
Soundclick.com. Here is a little information about Kevin Sawka
who is truly a genius drum'n'bass/breakbeats drummer:

'Seeing Kevin Sawka on the drums is the only way to believe the hype, the
assumed exaggerations of his abilities: that he can play the most complex of
jungle, drum'n'bass and breakbeats utilizing no loops and no extended
samples -only his two hands and two feet. Whereas some artists claim to be
performing live drum'n'bass, live electronica, etc., it's more often than
not a drummer playing alongside pre-programmed beats if there's a drummer at
all; Sawka, however, can perform each and every 808 bass kick, snare slap,
and compressed highhat tick himself, in real-time.'

2007


Henta is presently working on her second album in Seattle, consisting of
