Jay Harper's Biography

To help me write the biography for Jay Harper, I made a list of all the facts I wished to include:

  • 19 year old British singer/songwriter from Winchester
  • Started to learn guitar aged 7 
  • At the age of 16 he started to play gigs in small local venues as well as busking in Bournemouth 
  • From this he started to gain attention and build a fan base
  • At 18, he was noticed by a representative from Moonlight Records who offered him a record deal
  • Released his debut single in November 2015
After doing this it was easier to structure the biography and I found it much easier to write.This is the first draft of the biography which will appear on Jay Harper's website.

British singer/songwriter, Jay Harper (born 7 April 1996), from Winchester is an emerging indie artist with his debut single 'Best Fake Smile' being released in November 2015.
     The 19 year old was brought up in a family surrounded by music, his mother was a singer in the local choir and his father taught him how to play guitar from the age of 7. Harper later began to take guitar lessons at a music shop close to where he lived where he was encouraged to sing and write songs.
     At 16 Jay Harper began to play live gigs in small, local venues as well as busking on the streets of Winchester near The Brooks Shopping Centre. Harper was approached by a representative from Moonlight Records, who praised his raw talent and song writing skills,while performing in a pub at age 18. The label then signed Harper as they believed that they could nurture his image in a way which would preserve the qualities that the representative first took note of.
