Early life

Henderson grew up in the Detroit area.[2] As a teenager, Henderson performed as a vocalist with many local R&B acts.[3] Raised in a family that valued education, Henderson began attending Hampton University at the age of 16 in an early entry program for gifted students.[4] His nickname, "Deep", refers to a common description of young Henderson's lyrics.[5] He credits Motown and exposure to multi-instrumentalist vocalists/composers such as Stevie Wonder and Prince with great influence on his musical aspirations.[6]

Early career

Henderson's first songwriting and production credit, "Happily Ever After" for R&B singer Case, became one of the Top 10 songs of 1999. Consequently, Billboard magazine recognized him as one of the top 20 hot R&B/Hip-Hop producers that year.[7]
