BIO: VJ Harper is a young, talented video artist based in greater London. Creating, producing
and mixing cutting-edge visuals to enhance the atmosphere of a club night is just where it
starts. Through the study of lighting and sound design Harper developed a passion for digital
media and specifically, live video performance and instillation. It was there, at University,
VJ Harper was spotted and recruited by SDNA (www.sdna.tv) , renowned creative media and video
design artists to join the Roundhouse Visual Collective, at the Roundhouse in Camden London
2009. It was here where her creative ambition was developed, tested and soon excelled into a
raw need to create and mix video on screens for all to see. Under the RHVC, VJ Harper worked
with the Le Beque Sisters- world classical pianist duo in January 2010.
Soon the opportunity to perform live visuals at Glastonbury June 2010 arose. The collective
took over the London Underground venue on Block9's late night field, with Annie Mac headlining.
Soon after, VJ Harper played a set for the Lazy Land stage at the Big Chill festival. And to
complete the busy summer, the Roundhouse produced Turning Point festival, an in-house, 3 day
event which the collective produced and performed for, headlining were Mistajam, Professor
Green and Ms Dynamite. 2011 Saw VJ Harper's solo carrier take off at Looking Sound
(www.lookingsound.com) in Finsbury Park. Boosting AV collaborations and generating future
warehouse visuals in the multi-screen, east London venue Looking Sound now invite Harper to
guest VJ at this event.
Currently holding a residency at Rumpus (www.rumpusparty.co.uk), VJ Harper brings the cinema
room to life with deep, glitchy, audio responsive AV sets, which is just one of the wonders of
the 7 room venue known as Islington Metal Works, London. Now breaking the Electro-swing circle,
Harper accommodates circus, burlesque, dance, vaudeville themes and speakeasy acts with
authentic early 20th century film footage, blended with eclectic visuals that she delivers with
her own, mixing style, a style that she is fast becoming recognised for. In fact, it was VJ
Harper's live mixes that got her the residency Vjing at KOKO, Camden for Club NME. Video mash-
ups, instinctive, unplanned mixes, custom visuals and promotion videos for clubs, promoters DJs
and producers are the activities she delves into when not pumping out visuals at live events.
