Artist Description: Nottingham resident Harleighblu has been involved in music from a very young age. Growing up surrounded by her mom's record collection - a treasure trove of the best soul and rare grooves - she kindled her interest in music by emulating each of the singers she heard. She started songwriting at the tender age of 7 at a community recording studio, and began entertaining school friends with impromptu performances during breaks. With an obvious talent, Harleighblu was entered and won a number of local talent competitions, the prizes of which helped kit her out with all the musical equipment a young girl could need.
Harleighblus drive, belief and passion for creative exploration has seen her naturally develop into one of the UKs most promising young artists. From the age of 12 she started working with a number of producers, however it was meeting Birmingham based Dino Nisbett and his co-producer Andre Bassing that really gave rise to the next development in her musical journey. Through Nisbett and Bassing she was introduced to Dennis Seaton, lead singer of the Grammy nominated band Musical Youth, which gave her the chance to not only provide backing vocals for the reunited band, but also to put together her own live band and start performing the local circuit. After working on a collaborative album, songwriting and gigging, it was the loss of her beloved Granddad that made her re-evaluate her musical life.
