Details: Nottingham resident Harleighblu is possessed of a truly irresistible classic soul voice with an arrestingly rich, charismatic and versatile delivery. Her drive, belief and passion for music have seen her following in the footsteps of the likes of Jake Bugg, Liam Bailey and Natalie Duncan and rising through the ranks of the thriving local grass-roots scene.brbrInspired at an early age by the treasure trove of soul, jazz and rare grooves that made up her Mum s beloved record collection, Harleighblu started song-writing at a local recording studio aged just seven, and at 12 started to work with producers. A meeting with Dennis Seaton, of the Grammy nominated Musical Youth, gave her the chance to provide backing vocals for his reunited band; and this inspired her to form her own live outfit and start performing the local circuit. After much song-writing, gigging and various collaborations, at 17 Harleighblu resolved to find the producer with whom she could develop the sound she truly wanted, and that affinity materialised with revered hip hop man Joe Buhdha.brbrThanks to numerous gigs and festivals, support slots for acts including Liam Bailey, and early championing from the likes of BBC Introducing and legendary rapper Rodney P (with whom she often collaborates both live and on record), Harleighblu came to the attention of Tru Thoughts A&R Robert Luis, who likens the buzz of discovering Harleighblu to the way he felt on first signing Bonobo, Quantic or Alice Russell.
