In addition, Harper will also be going on tour with The Wanted for their UK arena tour. \u2018Say My Name (Why Don\u2019t Ya Babe)\u2019 is out on February 18th.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Determined to make a career in music, Harper Starling didn\u2019t let a diagnosis of Tourette\u2019s Syndrome at eight deter her. Magically, the Tourette\u2019s symptoms disappear when Harper steps on stage and the performance takes over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having moved from her native Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Los Angeles, Harper first made a name for herself in 2018 with numerous Billboard Dance hits including \u2018Euphoria\u2019<\/strong>, a collaboration with The Perry Twins<\/strong> which reached #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Song<\/strong> chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2020 saw Harper work with writer\/producer Cindy Valentine (Bebe Rexha, Britney Spears, Alisha) and Niko the Kid (Outkast, Ariana Grande), resulting in captivating story telling songs that wrap themselves around a pulse quickening beat. Harper\u2019s refreshing and honest approach to music and videos has attracted a host of celebrity fans, including Goodfellas actor Johnny Roastbeef and TikTok stars Hootie Hurley, Jack Bloome, Gabby Marie and Brittany Galvin who all appeared in the video for \u2018Cannot Tell a Lie<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Say My Name (Why Don\u2019t Ya Babe)\u2019<\/strong> builds these releases with powerful vocals soaring over dance pop beats that are destined to fill the floor. A sense of vulnerability hovers just under the surface, but the overriding message is of strength and the will to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will be Harper \u2018s first time to perform in the UK and what a way to make an entrance as tour support for The Wanted has just been announced. Other tour dates include The Bedford<\/strong>, LeeStock Music Festival<\/strong> and many more including another support tour with A1<\/strong> in September. Looks like will be seeing a lot of this new rising star, Harper Starling<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wanted tour <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3<\/strong>rd <\/strong>March: <\/strong>SSE Hydro, Glasgow 12<\/strong>th <\/strong>March: <\/strong>Utilita Arena, Birmingham <\/p>\n\n\n\n 13<\/strong>th <\/strong>March: <\/strong>A0 Arena, Manchester Harper Starling releases an upbeat, empowering track, \u2018SAY MY NAME (Why Don\u2019t Ya Babe)\u2019.
