Henko Ace (Henko Uys/Barry) is a composer, producer, orchestrator, musical director, and multi-instrumentalist session musician working across film, theatre, and contemporary performance. Mostly known for his work as the frontman, composer/lyricist and bandleader/mananger for Almost Alive. Moving between cinematic scoring and high-energy live performance, he builds music with structural depth and emotional weight. Rooted in rock, refined through jazz training, and shaped by orchestral sensibility, Henko balances discipline with expressive freedom. A BMus Jazz Studies graduate of the University of Cape Town, he performs on bass(electric and upright), keyboards, guitar, and vocals, bringing animated presence and musical leadership to each project. Across film, theatre, and studio production, his work remains authentic in voice, precise in execution, and expansive in scale.
