The idea that Harland had a future as an artist never occurred to her when she moved to New York from her home town of London UK. With her musician boyfriend off on tour, in her Brooklyn apartment she found herself alone with a four track recorder, a beaten up acoustic guitar and cockroaches. So she began writing. Never trained on an instrument, she taught herself composition by ear. Her first attempts were a collection of haunting and original songs full of beats and strings. A second wave of songs emerged through collaboration with several leading electronic artists and producers and before long her songs and voice were introduced to and embraced by a world wide audience. Her singing, writing and programming skills have led to collaborations with DJ Rap, Delerium, Junkie XL, Ferry Corsten, Rio Klein, Pole Folder, Guru, Sleepthief, Joshua Ryan, j-Punch, Loverush UK, and John Cale (Velvet Underground). Shelly’s new album “Red Leaf” was released in March 2009 and she continues to work on a side project, human ii human, with Duke Mushroom.
