Henry Lau is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, composer, and former member of SUPER JUNIOR-M (슈퍼주니어-M). He was born in Toronto; his father is from Hong Kong, and his mother is from Taiwan. He graduated from Berklee College of Music with a bachelor's degree in Music. He plays the violin, piano, percussion, keyboard and guitar.

He was chosen by SM Entertainment (SM엔터테인먼트) after an audition in Toronto in 2006. Then, in October 2007, the agency announced that a new SUPER JUNIOR sub-group would debut in China in 2008. The main group debuted in November 2005, but as part of SM's strategy, they decided not to limit the group's activities while certain members focused on their individual careers. As a result, several sub-groups were created since their debut.

However, some of the group's official fanclub (E.L.F) signed online petitions and held protests to express their dissatisfaction and opposition of adding new members to SUPER JUNIOR as they feared that original members would end up being replaced. After months of protests, SM had to release an official statement assuring the fans that no original member was being replaced with the addition of him and Zhou Mi to this sub-group.

He made his debut in April 2008 as SUPER JUNIOR-M's lead vocalist, sub-rapper, main dancer and maknae with the single "U", part of their debut album "Me", which was released a few weeks later. They nearly faced disbandment when member Han Geng sued SM, looking to terminate his contract in December 2009. The subgroup was restructured and returned in 2011 with their EP, "Perfection".

He made his acting debut in 2012 with the lead role in the film "Final Recipe", alongside Michelle Yeoh. He then made his debut as a solo artist in June 2013 with the EP "Trap" and later became a regular in several reality and variety shows in both South Korea and China.

In April 2018, he left SM Entertainment and officially departed from SUPER JUNIOR-M. A few weeks later, he joined a new label, Monster Entertainment (몬스터엔터테인먼트그룹), with his older brother as acting CEO. He also signed with Axis (액시즈) in 2022 to manage his music.
