Bio

To some, Hapi may seem only moderately acquainted with the music scene, but this is far from the truth. The second oldest of four children, Hapi was always an adventurous and creative child. Driven by the sound of music, she began singing at home and at school at the tender age of seven and went on to learn piano and also played flute in the school band. It is this artistic flair coupled with an increasing understanding of the environmental issues that society faces today that has brought Hapi the artist to the forefront.

In 1992 she started her studies at The University of Sussex where she majored in Environmental Science. Her degree granted her an in-depth knowledge of the sciences, allowing her to evaluate and formulate her solutions to the current ecological problems.

Her resolution for eco issues comes in the form of a totally unique and ‘signature sound’ which is a post-punk, electronic-like melody that depicts an ‘I do give a damn’ attitude. Hapi endeavours to create a global positive change as she actively attempts to develop the sound of a new genre called Ecotronica, a form of musical self-expression.

Hapi penned her first track Millennium Woman in 1999 and since then it has been a non-stop rollercoaster, with the savvy artist going on to record many more tracks, some of which are featured on her EP entitled ‘Alternative Energy’. She has received backing from Aura Noctis after she was spotted on myspace. After her stint fronting a punk style band called Submarines for two years, singing in and around London venues she realised that was not enough and she wanted to put her own message out into the world and that’s when she had the idea for her new album.

The singer and songwriter now resides just outside of the city of London. She is currently working on her new album “Every Atom is Sacred”, which is due for release in the early part of 2009. Each song on the new album expresses the different aspect of environmental issues through a creative blend of lyrics and composition. Her previous EP is available on itunes, Napster and Rhapsody. After months of hard work, planning and preparation, Hapi is definitely set to cement her place in the 2009 charts and create the change that she has been striving for, so be sure to watch this space.

About

 

We live in times when it is about time to stop pretending that we do not harm to our planet. Along with politicians, and big corporations, the music industry is also getting involved. The new technology, now in use, enables dance clubs to run at a very low environmental impact and with reduced carbon emissions. Some musicians have moved one step further and created a new genre of music- ECOTRONICA. The genre can be described as: Sound electronics acoustics mind blowing ecology". Ecotronica, or in other words Grune Punk combines post punk sounds with a bit of electronic flow- something for fans of the true musical greats of modern music.
 
HAPI is pioneer and ahead –of-its-time artist of yet growing in popularity Ecotronica music. Originally from Sheffield, the home town for many great artists such as for example Arctic Monkeys; she’s a lady who mixes the deep voice of Courtney Love with the environmental involved attitude of Coldplay. She is not one of those singers with portfolio full of throwaway bubblegum. HAPI’s tracks take the listener on an epic voyage. Just to name few: “Millennium Woman”, “Reveal Myself”are carefully thought through, with meaningful lyrics that in a gentle way try to encourage listeners to take action and are aimed to save the planet.
 
It is rare nowadays that an artist can be described as unique and genre bending, and yet HAPI truly defies categorisation and transcends today’s music fan’s expectations of what music can be about. With the new album “Every Atom is Sacred” released next year- full on, fresh and in our face, HAPI makes a statement:” I am on the side of planet earth. I represent the planet. Stop destroying it!” Her thing gets deep under your skin and makes you want to make a difference.
