Harmony James
Harmony James is an Australian singer-songwriter. Although James is often classified as a country artist, her music draws on many genres, including folk, pop, rock and blues. In 2006 Harmony first came to the attention of the music industry when she became the only Australian songwriter to have won the country category of the International Songwriting Competition, with her song "Tailwind".〔 Her second single and chart hit, "Somebody Stole My Horse", spent four weeks at number one and became Australian radio's second most played country song in 2008. The album produced by Herm Kovac〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ramrodstudio.com/Herm%20kovac.html )〕 spawned five top ten singles.
==Early life==
Born in Victoria, Australia to a Baptist preacher as one of twelve children, Harmony had a sheltered childhood, with private education and few friends.〔 She read voraciously, eventually discovering the western novels of Louis L'Amour.
A move to north as a young child began a lifelong wanderlust. James discovered traditional country music after a friend returned from Texas with records by Dolly Parton and The Judds.〔 Soon after, James taught herself enough guitar to learn a few country songs and took to the streets singing to earn money.
She later ran a stock camp in the outback of Queensland and worked with cattle on the Northern Territory's Barkly Tableland. She left home to work as a jillaroo at some of the most remote cattle stations in southwestern Queensland,〔 "covered in mud and blood, roughing it with the guys, working so hard I had biceps and thinking, 'This is not what my mother pictured for me'." A gig at a school fete in Goondiwindi led to an offer from the local publican and Harmony's songbook started filling, even as she continued her parallel life on the land, from the Cape to Tennant Creek, studying agriculture at The University of Queensland at Gatton〔 and working as a welder "in a shed of 80 blokes." "My musical exposure was mostly church music until I got a job as a checkout chick and heard the radio," she says. "Now when I hang out with other musos they'll drop names and I'll just look at them blankly 'cause my music history starts in '95."
