Stirring in the underbelly of the bubbling UK Neo-Soul scene is Harleighblu - a captivating multidisciplinary artist and songstress carving her own lane with a sound that’s both soulful and striking. Hailing from Nottingham, her music blends soul, hip hop and jazz into a raw, honest fusion - rich in cultural references and grounded in straight-talking lyricism. Known for her distinctive vocal flow, sharp storytelling and empowering messages around self-worth and feminism, Harleighblu is fast becoming one of the most unique voices in UK soul.

Since the release of her 2019 smash album She, a collaborative effort with German hip hop producer Bluestaeb, which saw Harleigh sing pertinent lyrics over soulful, boom bap inspired instrumentation. The reception for the LP was incredibly positive, with She receiving over 5 million streams and 1,500 vinyl sales, as well as being supported by Spotify on their Butter and Jazz UK playlists. Garnering critical acclaim for her unique style from top publications and platforms such as NME, Clash, Notion, GUAP, and Highsnobiety, as well as HipHopDX who have already named Harleighblu a UK soul star.

Having recently collaborated with American hip hop artist and producer Illa J on two projects, the duo embarked on a Carhartt sponsored tour across Europe and sold out the Jazz Cafe London. Her musical talents have seen her perform at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival, Kendal Calling, Boomtown, the Giles Peterson Worldwide Festival, and headline a stage at Lollapalooza. Just last year, Harleighblu starred in Unsigned: Backing the Dream, an American Express documentary chronicling her independent rise (out now on Amazon Prime). This year, she continues to expand her creative reach, supported by Rabanne as a featured beauty collaborator.

Now in 2025, she’s back on the road independently with The Mixtape Tour - a self-funded, DIY UK run supported by Help Musicians that brought cassette culture and live beats to the forefront. The tour culminates in her headlining the SXSW London Amex Unsigned stage - and her next stop is Europe. With a self-produced solo record on the way and an autumn European tour in motion, Harleighblu is entering a bold new era… Expect lo-fi soul, dusty drum machines, fearless freestyles, and a global takeover.
