Nottingham resident Harleighblu has been involved in music from a very young age. Growing up surrounded by her Mum’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 at break times. With an obvious talent, Harleighblu was entered into 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. Now, 13 years on, Harleighblu is preparing to unveil her debut album.
