QUOTES
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

KELLY HARPER | BIOGRAPHY
Kelly Harper is going to dispel the nasty rumors that a beautiful
blond is more fluff than substance. She is a fresh energetic performer
with an unstoppable drive and an unwavering devotion to her craft. As
a singer and songwriter she is her own woman. There's no question
she's poised to make her artistic mark in a big way and she already
has with the release of her debut hit smash "New Best Friend "
striking at number 38 for four weeks on Billboards R&R Top 40/CHR
indicator charts. Proof that she is armed with an arsenal of hit
songs, tracks from her debut record are already being played on radio
stations both nationally and overseas.
Kelly was born and raised in the small town of Lewistown,
Pennsylvania. As an introverted young girl Kelly found her joy in
music. She would spend hours singing along to her mother's records
performing for her dolls and stuffed animals. It was music that
brought Kelly out of her shell and into the limelight. Throughout her
teens Kelly only desired two things, a stage and an audience. Kelly
bought a piano and taught herself how to play it. "Performing was just
something I had to do; it was like breathing to me." After graduating
high school Kelly felt a yearning to travel and explore the world. "I
always knew there was more to life then the small town I was living
in. I constantly felt like I was going to miss something and never
fulfill my dreams if I stayed in my hometown".
The door to Kelly's freedom opened when a modeling agency signed her
and took her to New York City. "It was an amazing time. I was working
a lot, making good money and enjoying the nightlife of New York City.
But all the while I was missing my dream and first love, music." After
two years of successful and consistent modeling Kelly began to burn
out and knew it was time for a change. With a notebook full of songs,
her guitar and suitcase, Kelly walked away from a modeling career and
moved to Los Angeles to pursue her music dream. Always the go-getter
Kelly began writing and playing with local musicians and songwriters
almost immediately once she arrived.
Since then,
Kelly's song "New Best
Friend" was chosen from a catalog of over a thousand songs for placement in the
feature film, "Thanks to Gravity".
Hollywood Music supervisor Max Luces heard Kelly's album "New Best Friend" and immediately licensed her album and placed five of Kelly's songs
on the Bunim/Murray Productions number one rated show on
the Oxygen Network "Bad Girls Club", MTVs "Road Rules," and "Real
World." And the most recent addition on the popular new show on the
"E" Channel, "Living Lohan".
Kelly is avidly catching the attention of the media. Such as her
upcoming interview with the highly followed blog,
"www.PopCultureMadness.com", and "www.TeenSceneMag.com". Her song,"Till This Goes Away" has also
gained some spotlight; winning the Best Song of the Month Contest
awarded by the acclaimed "www.SingerSongwriterUniverse.com". Look for
her in these publications! "I write the kind of songs I
believe everyone can relate to. We all share the same feelings, and I
think I've expressed those in my songs. I can't always say what I feel
in person, but my songs allow me to say everything loud and clear".
Kelly is currently back in the studio working on her second album which will be released in the Spring of 2011. You can all look forward to Kelly touring this winter. The tour will be celebrating the
release of her new EP. With a Gibson endorsement, a national tour
under her belt, unrelenting worldwide radio airplay, along with tv and
film placements, you can be sure that you'll be seeing a lot more from
Kelly Harper. Be sure to watch for this rising young star!
Kelly Harper's "Till This Goes Away" Named November "Best Song Of The Month"
By Dale Kawashima
Kelly Harper, a talented pop/rock singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, CA, has won the SongwriterUniverse "Best Song Of The Month" Contest for November, for her song "Till This Goes Away" (co-written by Rob Wells). This song will be included on her upcoming 7-song EP, which she will release independently in February (2010).
"Till This Goes Away" is a contemporary, midtempo rock ballad which sounds ready for radio play. The song starts intimately, with just Harper's expressive vocals and a piano track, and then builds gradually through the verses. The song's highlight is its powerful chorus, which has a full, rock band arrangement. This recording was expertly produced by Rob Wells, a Toronto-based writer/producer who has worked with several hit artists, including Adam Lambert, the Backstreet Boys and Selina Gomez.
Harper was born and raised in Lewistown, PA, which is in the central part of the state. She learned to play piano when she was 11, and she was inspired by listening to such artists as Jewel, Sheryl Crow and Pat Benatar. Following high school, Harper decided to pursue both her music career, and a modeling career. She first moved to Los Angeles for two years, and then she lived in New York City, where she signed a contract and worked steadily with the prominent Click modeling agency.
Harper subsequently elected to concentrate on her music, and returned to Los Angeles. In 2006 she recorded and released a full album called New Best Friend. The title cut "New Best Friend" was released as a single, and it reached 38 on the Radio & Records CHR (pop) chart for four weeks. Harper had good success with this album – several songs have been licensed for the MTV shows Road Rules and The Real World, plus The Bad Girls Club on the Oxygen Network and Living Lohan on the E! Channel. Her song "New Best Friend" has also been placed in the film, Thanks To Gravity.
Following this album's success, Harper formed a band and toured the Midwest and West Coast. She subsequently signed a production/distribution deal with a label, but it didn't work out. However, she has continued writing songs, and she's recently found an excellent collaborator with Rob Wells in Toronto.
"I'm looking forward to completing and releasing my new album. Be sure to watch for my new album release this fall!
