To be the only one to represent Australia in multiple years in this competition has been a true honour!
Hi! I'm Harlem, 46 from Melbourne, Australia. I've been singing for most of my life but in the past few years, have also found a connected love in songwriting. I was even a Semi-Finalist in the International Songwriting Contest in 2020.
More recently, I was chosen as a 2026 Grand Finalist in Australia's biggest non-televised singing competition, Take The Mic.
The 80's is my favourite period for music and Cyndi Lauper is my favourite artist of all time, but my vocals sit squarely in the influences of Stephen Sanchez, Teddy Swims, Roy Orbison and Otis Redding.
