Southeast Asia has shown me so much love over the past couple of years so it was so nice to finally see everyone in real life and have a sing along! I’m so grateful for all the support and I can’t wait to come back!”, says Henry Moodie.

As a testament to his rising popularity, Moodie’s hit single “drunk text” saw exponential growth on Spotify charts during the tour:
