Chris Harper

My name is Chris Harper, I’m a 23 year old indie-pop singer/songwriter from Crowborough in Sussex. I sing acoustic covers of all sorts of genres from Pop/ Rock through to the odd country song. From newly released to your old favourites. I've been performing solo for around 5 years, I started busking on the streets of Newcastle as a form of income and fell in love with it. I've now been gigging and singing at weddings full time for two years. I release my own music as well which is on Spotify/ apple music. I'm aiming to be the next alfie templeman/ two door cinema club/ COIN. Through my music I aim to inspire those who feel outcasted due to their identity or ambitions. I was raised in a very strict military family, who doubted my choice to go into music, and sent me to a school where everything was regimented and geared towards exam results. I didn’t feel free to be a creative individual there, so when I arrived at Uni I finally felt able to escape to song writing as a means to express myself, and to cope with my dyslexia and ADHD. It was like 18 years of pent up feelings came rushing out all at once, through music. For me my project stands for those who want to go against the grain, and still choose to pursue whatever they might be passionate about, regardless of where they come from. I love my craft and I’m growing and learning more about it every day.
