    Music experience

    Anyone who has heard 18 Year old, Nigerian Born Gucci Iwuoha, will tell you she is set to be the biggest female performer to come out of
    the U.K for a very long time, or possibly EVER!.
    Her stage name 'Harmonay' came about because, 'I feel that i bring the harmony of R&B and blend it
    with a pop,new wave,indie, rock, hip hop attitude and that adds a certain funk to it - Hence the accent on the name - Possibly R&B with
    an attitude but ofcourse i'd hate to be pigeon holed' she laughs.

    Major labels and so on, this would only speeden the process'.
    'In the song im sayin that i know these people are hearing about me or talking about me, well here i am in person, i am That girl.'

    Well into the year 2008 we can clearly see this 'Princess' has indeed found her own Unique sound, image, swagger,and is indeed ready to be shown to the world.

    Harmonay is currently in studio recording her album with the leading single 'That Girl' due just before thanksgiving. Could this be a sign? Does the industry truly owe thanks to what could be the
    breathe of fresh air to the U.K's seemingly failing Music Industry?.
    One thing i know after having spent some time with this young phenomenon is that she is definitely due to take both sides of the
