Harper is a Bristol-born, South Wales-raised Alt-Pop artist currently based in London. Harper’s music resonates a strong female pop vocal and catchy melody, contrasted with the raw, gritty, bass-driven undertones of Trap and R&B. However, Harper’s sound would not be complete without the equally strong lyrical message she conveys within each song. Influenced by a range of genres, Harper takes note of the complex work of Kate Bush and Bjork, in addition to the Pop giants of her adolescence; Beyonce and Rihanna.
Whilst bringing something innovative to the world of commercial Pop, Harper also prides herself on being ‘just a girl-next-door with an unconditional love of music’. It is this passion that drove her to pursue a career in the music industry, moving to London at 18 to begin a music degree at the University of Westminster. This is where Harper began her journey, developing her sound and strength as a songwriter, before going on to sign to ICU Label.
As a child Harper’s parents separated. Moving with her mother, Harper relocated to a small town in South Wales, travelling back to Bristol on weekends to spend time with her father. This experience gave her a unique outlook on many things such as relationships and cultural diversity, which is often emulated in her songs. Harpers’ rocky school life was also the catalyst for many songs, as well as her experiences as a naïve adolescent finding her feet in London.
Utilising music as a tool for expression, Harper writes about issues she battles with as a young female, striving to tell a story others can relate to. Lately, her ammunition comes from her experiences as a female in a male dominated industry, writing the song ‘Man Made World’ in an attempt to speak up for the unfairly treated women of the world. Harper embodies a combination of humility and power: a down-to-earth girl with a strong voice and even stronger message.
With a unique blend of genres Harper’s music encapsulates all her favourite sounds, from Dub-step to Folk to Trip Hop, but features intelligent Pop melodies that brand her music ‘Pop with an edge’…
Working alongside Songwriter/Production Team, Eagleye, Harper has been developing her sound for the last year. Now armoured with fresh, raw material, Harper is about to take the world by storm. Harper will soon be releasing her first debut single, ‘No Love in the Jungle’- a perfect depiction of the quest to seek happiness in the concrete jungle that is London, asking all the city slickers out there to show more love!
