Henry Lau learned to play the violin at age 6 and learned a unique form of dancing called boogaloo popping while in high school. He attended North Toronto Collegiate Institute in grade 9, and attended A.Y. Jackson Secondary School (Toronto) for the rest of his high school years before being chosen at the 2006 SM Entertainment Global Audition in Toronto, Ontario. His first appearance was in Super Junior's "Don't Don" [1] music video in September 2007. A few months later, Don't Don became number one hit in Korea. In 2008, Henry was added to Super Junior-M[2] and the group debuted in China on April 8, 2008, releasing their "U" remake music video and an album entitled "迷 [Me]" soon after that incorporated Henry's violin.

Henry returned to the music industry after a year-long break as Super Junior-M and their first mini-album: Super Girl (EP) was released in China on September 25, 2009. In the mini-album, Henry does not display his violin playing.

Henry's areas of expertise lie in playing the violin, playing the piano, popping and singing. He began violin lessons at the age of six, although apparently, he used to cry when he had his violin lessons, and after only one year of dancing, Henry competed in dance (popping) competitions and shows. Henry has won many awards for violin and piano performance such as the Silver Medal in Level 10 Violin for the Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music (award granted to the highest mark achieved in Canada for violin performance in level 10 in the province that year), and has won awards for his dancing as well.
