He also appeared in an episode of BrainSurge during the week of April 18–22, 2011. Henderson and Big Time Rush made a guest appearance on Figure It Out sometime in June 2012.

Henderson signed with Sony Music Entertainment and Columbia Records as a part of Big Time Rush in 2009. After releasing four promotional singles including "Big Time Rush", "City Is Ours", "Halfway There", and "Til I Forget About You" the group released their debut album B.T.R. on October 11, 2010. Henderson co-wrote on the song "Oh Yeah" off of B.T.R.. The album peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200, and at #1 on the iTunes digital albums list. It was later certified Gold in the U.S. and Mexico. They released their second album Elevate on November 21, 2011. Henderson co-wrote "Time of Our Life" with Nicholas "Ras" Furlong.

2017–present: Solo career

After the band's hiatus in 2014, Henderson took an additional 3 year break to focus on his personal life and explore his sound. In December 2016 the singer announced the release of his debut solo single "Sleepwalker". Released in January 27, 2017, the track introduced his new sound, described by the producer Nicholas Furlong as the track boasting a “dark grunge pop sound”, it was a departure of the music of BTR. His second single "Bite My Tongue" was released on September 15, 2017, continuing the sonic direction of his first solo release. It's accompanying video received rave reviews from critics and fans alike, complimenting his evolution of music from Big Time Rush. A third single "Speak of the Devil" was released to digital download on October 30, 2017. On February 15, 2018 a single titled "Acoustic Sessions" was released featuring his first three singles in acoustic form.
