Henry has enjoyed a successful and eclectic career in music that ranges from the chart topping to the esoteric, and combines a varied palette of skills from string orchestration to beat programming, sampling and sound design, production and mixing. After 8 years of collaboration with other artists and their music, Henry is now focusing on his own material and scoring music for movies.
Utopia, published by West One Music, is a combination of Latvian choirs, innovative Electronica and cutting edge production. Transfiguration, published by KPM Music, was written, programmed, arranged, engineered, mixed and produced by Henry and completed in 2005. Transfiguration combines classical textures and melodies with 21st century production techniques and Henry’s own lyrics. Acoustica, also published by KPM Music, has just been completed in collaboration with the award-winning guitarist and songwriter, Augustus Isadore.
Prior to working on Utopia, Transfiguration and Acoustica, Henry’s work within the music industry has been varied and high profile. His programming credits include Mike Oldfield, Marc Almond, Coolio, and Kirsty McColl. He collaborated with Andy Gardner (of Plump DJ’s fame) to produce a series of Dance Remixes that topped the dance charts and were selected for Pete Tong’s Essential Selection (Radio 1), for artists like Kele le Roc and Boyzone. At the same time he worked with Michael Gordon, a New York-based minimalist string composer, on his composition - Weather- for Coalition Records.
Not long afterwards, Henry was working with the legendary Trevor Horn, programming and executing string arrangements for the title track of 20th Cent Fox’s film Anastasia, featuring Richard Marx and Donna Lewis on the song In the Beginning. He also co-produced Born On A Sunday with Trevor Horn on the Art of Noise album The Seduction of Claude Debussy. Meanwhile, he quietly produced some unashamed pop with the likes of Gary Barlow from Take That (which reached no.3 in the UK charts) and Justin.
Collaboration with internationally acclaimed Seal was shortly to follow as they worked together to write and produce This Could Be Heaven for the motion picture The Family Man, which starred Nicholas Cage. As well as production work, Henry continues to write his own music - which is used on CNN News, the BBC, The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Discovery Channel.
Henry is currently making great strides into the film world. As of January 2006, he has completed 4 movies with the world-renowned composer - Hans Zimmer – contributing as an additional composer and performer:
The Da Vinci Code [dir: Ron Howard],
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest [dir: Gore Verbinski]
The Holiday [dir: Nancy Meyers].
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End [dir: Gore Verbinski]

Henry Jackman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wreck it!
I'm gonna wreck it!
Wreck It!
The lyrics to Henry Jackman's song "Bug Hunt" are quite simple, but they convey a powerful message. The repeated phrase "I'm gonna wreck it!" is a way of saying that the singer is going to destroy something or cause chaos. The phrase is almost like a battle cry or a chant that is meant to pump up the singer and intimidate anyone who might stand in their way.
In the context of the song, which was written for the movie "Wreck-It Ralph," the lyrics take on a slightly different meaning. The main character of the movie, Ralph, is a video game villain who is tired of being the bad guy. He decides to leave his game and try to become a hero. The lyrics to "Bug Hunt" can be seen as Ralph's declaration that he is going to break free from his old role and "wreck" his old game in order to find a new path.
Overall, the lyrics to "Bug Hunt" are simple but effective, conveying a sense of determination and a desire to break free from the norm. They are also catchy and memorable, making them a perfect fit for a high-energy song like this one.

I wish skrillex would release this version of Bug Hunt
Sweet Leaf
How could i have not known that this was skrillex?!
accursedCursive
It's hard to recognise Skrillex's style, largely due to his lack of one.
He rivals even Lapfox in terms of versatility.
