EUROSTARS PRESENTS: ONLY HARMONY




Songs in Harmony is the best way to describe this sister. I recently had the pleasure of hosting the Rock For Joy toy drive at Diamond Etched Studios, where this talented songstress absolutely stole the night. Her soulful delivery and pleasant aura had me believing that R&B can be rekindled. Before placing that entire burden on the shoulders of one individual, I do want to speak to her potential to be a star. Backed by her team, EuroStars, Harmony is a diamond in the rough. So often I come across aspiring artists who profess to possess the chords that it takes to strike a match of appeal. Needless to say that is not always the case; in this one, the proof is in the pudding as the cliché goes. Proof positive, check out her latest single Aint Nobody Business



-JASON BOURNE
 



Meet Harmony
 
 
Many artist have struggled in the past with pitch, performance and natural ability to captivate an audience with little to no effort. Singer/Songwriter and Recording Artist HARMONY is that and much more. Her music is raw, honest, and as real as one can get.

 Her musical debut began as young as the age of 5, when her kindergarten gym teacher first discovered her singing in the hallways of P.S. 194. It was there she sang for the first time publicly for her kindergarten graduation. HARMONY, continued her musical journey to the Boys Choir of Harlem, where she gained classical training in the prestigious school. She went on to try out for the Hal Jackson Talented Teens Contest, where she won the title of Miss New York State. Later she went on to perform in various venues including the world famous Apollo Theatre and opening up for performing Artist Neyo at Paradise Theatre.

Listening to R&B legends like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, New Edition, SWV, Pattie Labelle, Harmony was destined to pursue a music career. She continues her journey by showing what versatility should be in a overall artist with debuting Mixtape  To the Point, Harmony believes "Nothing worth having comes without hard work"; This lovely songstress is prepared for music's ever changing times, armed with a sensational sultry sound, hard work, and perseverance.
