Stevie’s Words…
“It really does go to show the power of having a Face-Book page, I
was approached via an introduction from Harriet Mcdonnell herself, Oh boy was I
shocked”
My
view is that this talented young singer has one hell of a career ahead of her;
I feel she will gain many opportunities over a very short period of time. After
doing a little research I was completely overwhelmed by her past and influences!
Harriet really is one to look out for I’m telling you.
Inspired by her Granddad who used to play guitar and sing
just like Harriet does now to date, However when she was as young as six
Harriet used to play bass drums along to his music as he was rehearsing.
Although her Grandfather never did any gigs himself. Harriet
was only eight years old when he unfortunately passed away; his guitar was then
handed down to her.
It was only after her Grandfather had passed away when
Harriet really decided she wanted to learn how to play guitar, so she took
lessons and then went on to write her
first song at only nine years old. Harriet is now 17 and studies full-time
Music Performance in Derby. Harriet has been fully gigging for four years now
in and around the Derbyshire area, England.
Harriet has recently been featured on Andy Potter's'Acoustic Sessions' on BBC Radio Derby where she played two of her songs live
as well as an interview.
Harriet is also a BBC Introducing Artist and has been
featured on BBC's 'The Beat'.
She enjoys making new contacts although still gigging to
this day and still writing songs. The best is yet to come.
Some of Harriet’s influences: Nirvana, Skunk Anansie, Bob
Dylan, Dido, Evanescence, Kodaline, Joan Armatrading, Janis Joplin, Joni
Mitchell and many more
Harriet has covered a wide collection of songs from lots of
different artists such as, Janis Joplin, Gnarls Barkley, Evanescence, Skunk
Anansie, Nirvana, Joni Mitchell and many more. Harriet has many of her own
songs written and is currently writing more.
Her genre: Acoustic Rock/Country/Folk/Alternative/Punk/Grunge/Pop,
She is also in a metal/grunge/psychedelic band called RaNk
My team and I will support Harriet with her journey forward.. Hopefully we can help her make a difference.We wish her the very best of luck.
