This edition of my blog is on Heather Nikole Harper. I first heard of Heather was back in 2020, she was a singer in Nashville. I believe her song “You & Me” was the first song I heard of hers. Heather is not my usual choice for a female singer, but I think what drew me to her was her way to put such emotions into her songs. Heather’s vocals have such a great tone to it and range. Also, Heather’s voice fits into a lot of genres like Pop, Rock, Country & Blues… Now I personally think that Country & Blues best suits her voice.
Heather’s songwriting is equally amazing, she can really bring out the feelings in her songs. Heather’s songs are very emotional and relatable to people that have loved and fallen out of love. They are almost on a spiritual plain. I have not gotten the chance to see Heather perform live yet, but I do enjoy listening to her music online. Here are some questions I got to ask Heather; hope you find her answers interesting. Also check out her music on these formats: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYktg6gIdchO1IJCQecO7Eg https://heatherharpermusic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/2365568033715898 How long have you been playing music? My parents first learned I could sing at age 3 and I got my first guitar from my mom when I was 7. Then not long after I started writing my own songs. How many bands have you been in? One, just me and my band Where were you born? Tyler, Texas Are you self-taught? Yes Who are your biggest influences? My mom, she’s a singer/songwriter and guitarist too What style of music do you consider yours? I like to just consider myself a songwriter since I enjoy all genres of music. But at the moment I am releasing country. But when you come catch a show of mine, you’ll hear me playing all genres. I mostly play country, pop, classic rock, 90s and originals. What was your first gig? How old were you? I first started out singing in church. But my very first gig was with my mom when I was 10 at the Chandler City Hall. I was so nervous. What advice do you have for someone starting out in the music business? Don’t give up, you got to keep putting yourself out there. And keep writing songs. Take your time. Learn from your mistakes. And last but not least, practice, practice. Not every performance is going to be perfect either Do you write your own songs? Yes What would people be surprised to hear that you have in your personal song collection? I think people would be surprised that I listen to Rock Music. What would you be doing if playing music was not an option? Photographer Besides your own songs, what is your favorite song to perform? Hmm that’s very hard to decide on just one. But if I had to pick one of them, I would say Shine by Collective Soul. It’s one that gets the crowd going. If you were strictly a songwriter, who would you like to see sing your songs? That’s a good question, honestly it would depend on the song that is written since I write in different genres. It would have to be someone who I felt the song would match up with that’s current in the industry at the time.
