Harper is a Bristol-born, South Wales raised female Alt-Pop artist, currently based in East London, signed to ICU Label. Harper prides herself on bringing something new to the world of commercial Pop, whilst also breaking the stereotypes of a female Pop singer. Influenced by some of the best, Harper takes note of the complex work of Bjork, Radiohead, Kate Bush, in addition to Pop giants Rihanna, Beyoncé and Sia.
Harper’s music blends dark and haunting undertones with a distinctively powerful vocal. The plethora of sounds originating from different genres entwine together, producing an alternative take on Pop music. While the instrumental foundations of her songs reflect elements such as Hip Hop, Trap, and Folk, Harper embraces strong Pop melodies and catchy choruses. The battle of dark v/s light is present within all her music and makes for an edgy, exciting pop experience. Harper’s illustrative lyrics colour the musical landscape, capturing her innermost thoughts.
“Writing lyrics is my release, like therapy. I open up in a way I could never express to someone else in person. The irony is that I want the world to hear what I’m singing and relate to me and my experiences. I’m also passionate about telling a story and immersing the listener, like reading a good book!”
In a recent article written by Harper for W Review Magazine, the artist details her experience of working in the music industry as a female “trying to break the stereotypical makings of a pop princess”. Harper insists that it’s hard to make waves in the Pop world as a woman if you don’t want to live by the motto ‘Sex Sells’. This characteristic is prominent within her style and lyrical content, which portrays a strong young female with a view to empower others.
