HARRIET CREE

Hi, I’m Harriet Cree, a Suffolk-based singer-songwriter creating uplifting, cinematic alt-pop inspired by artists like Chappell Roan, Griff and The 1975. I write honest songs about overthinking, relationships and finding clarity, using music as a way to make sense of life’s messier moments. I live in Melton and work as a studio assistant at Decoy Studios, spending most of my time writing, recording and gigging across Suffolk and beyond. I’ve been performing solo around Suffolk for the last year and a half, and when they’re home from university, I’m joined by my band: Tommy, George, Tom and Obi. They’re all Suffolk lads (and best friends of my younger brother Joe!) who I recruited to help bring my songs to life, and we’ve even ended up writing some together. We rehearse in our parents’ garage and turn those sessions into festival stages and packed local gigs. My debut single, Just A Feeling, was recorded locally at Decoy Studios and releases next month, with more original music set to follow throughout the year. My music has already received multiple BBC radio plays, including BBC Suffolk, BBC Norfolk and BBC London, as well as support from independent local radio stations. I’ve loved throwing myself into the local creative scene, from playing Brighten the Corners Festival to performing at Ipswich Music Day; Suffolk is where I’ve felt most at home creatively. It’s where I learnt piano, where I first started writing songs, where I first performed live and where my music career has truly begun. I’d love the opportunity to represent that local creative spirit at Halo Festival.
