Mercer Henderson is one of pop’s brightest new voices, turning heartbreak into anthems that stick. Blending Lizzy McAlpine’s raw intimacy with Sabrina Carpenter’s irresistible hooks, she transforms personal pain into songs that feel both confessional and universal.

At just 23 years old, the San Francisco native, now based in New York City and a recent graduate of NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, is already cultivating a growing movement of dedicated fans drawn to her authenticity, emotional honesty, and deeply personal lyrics. Her fans have dubbed themselves “The Bangers,” a nod to Mercer’s iconic bangs and her music.

Mercer’s performances have ignited sold-out, high-demand headline shows in major cities like Boston, New York City, and London, establishing her as one of pop’s most compelling rising voices. She has toured with Isabel LaRosa, Dylan, and Will Linley in the U.S. and with G Flip in the U.K., and is now gearing up for another North American run with G Flip.

In 2025, her viral single “Almost, So Close, Maybe” surpassed 6 million streams and 15 editorial playlists, including Spotify’s Pop Rising, the follow-up “Goner” landed 24 playlists including the cover of Spotify’s Young & Free, and her newest single “Different, Worse Versions”again landed the cover of Spotify’s Young & Free. 

With Spotify monthly listeners peaking at 840K and a sophomore EP on the way, Mercer isn’t just rising, she’s resonating. She’s turning her personal truth into music that hits hard and stays with you, building a devoted fan base who feel like every lyric was written for them.
