| Contrary to popular belief an artist should, ideally, not be misunderstood, even f he/she does sit on the outskirts of society looking in. Many believe that the capacity for artistic expression is an individualized evolution that begins in early childhood, usually spawned from a felt need to escape or become self aware. Some individuals develop it and cultivate it, while others do not. Everybody possesses this capacity to one degree or another, therefore everyone is capable of appreciating music and its role in society Enter Karleigh Harris or simply Karleigh for short. Born April 16, 1982 in Hollywood, California the only daughter of accomplished musicians, Karleigh developed an appreciation for the performing arts at a very early age. With influences ranging from rock icons like Led Zepplin and Metallica to the smooth sounds of Miles Davis and the revolutionary hymns of Public Enemy, her path to stardom began at the age of three when she amazed a casting director with her natural talents and a work ethic that far exceeded her years. Before long, Karleigh was starring in various national commercials for major companies and products including Disneyland, KFC, and Clorox. She then began honing her skills with private classes, and by age eight a young Karleigh was completely devoted to studying the arts of songwriting, musical arrangement, performance, and dance. In the years to follow she would receive further instruction in drama, jazz, and choreography; maturing her varied talents by singing live at nightclubs, performing in plays, and competing in a number of talent showcases. During high school an affinity for the recording studio began to develop, resulting in a catalog of songs recorded to her credit. Currently 23 years old, she resides in Los Angeles, California. Karleighs one passion is music, and she spends the majority of her time in pursuit of that one passion. Admittedly a bit of a perfectionist, Karleigh believes that truly great art is created not by the emotion put into a work nor the emotion that is felt by the artist while creating the work, but the artists ability to translate that emotion into a universal language. With this in mind Karleigh is poised to deliver a much needed breath of fresh air with her music. She is currently working on her second album project, following her first, an EP titled Midnight Sun. As a songwriter and artist, her main philosophy is that art is a reflection of life through the eyes of the artist, but ones reality is defined and limited by ones perception. Since she began on her career path at age three, Karleigh has grown exponentially developing a signature sound, an unmistakably fashion-forward sense of style, and a reputation as a dedicated musician. Her soft angelic voice and melodic grooves create a spellbinding sonata for the ear. Armed with her natural good looks and a charming personality that are only second to her talent and determination this young artist is proof that practice truly does make perfect. |
