BIOGRAPHY

HEIDI HAPPY
Hiding With The Wolves

Most people would be content with the career that Heidi Happy had made for herself. Two albums, a growing success not only nationally but also in Japan, the USA, Canada and Europe based on a strong musical identity of playful pop spiked with strings. The acclaim for the cute, fun persona she had created was growing. But Heidi Happy, thank God, is not most people.

Aiming for a challenge that would put to good use her love and knowledge of classical arrangements...

HEIDI HAPPY
Hiding With The Wolves

Aiming for a challenge that would put to good use her love and knowledge of classical arrangements, her innate sense of musical beauty and her soft, delicate song crafting, she set herself to work on a true, honest and ambitious classical pop album. Retreating to the frozen Lake of Constance, she locked up her house and let go of an array of emotions she had, as of yet, kept her songs protected from. Secluded, visited by the slow, curious animals of winter and later by the lively beasts of spring, old stories long forgotten came to life again. Day by day, she carved her words into the fascinating fabrics of a symphonic orchestra, illuminating them with the modern gravitas of her evolving folk songwriting sensitivities. Not unlike a youthful, female Ennio Morricone or an emotional early sixties Frank Sinatra, she wrote, composed and arranged an album of sensual innocence, of immense purity, of sophisticated abandon.

Along with the stellar songwriting and that ever so beautiful voice, what makes this record so endearing is the understated use of the orchestra. Unlike so many pop artists who fall into the trap of overblown Disney style arrangements, Heidi Happy uses the classical instruments as they were meant to be, an elegant accompaniment of velvet strings and muffled brass, never overshadowing the band, always complementing the song. That she could guide so many musicians to create a work of such staggering intimacy might be the biggest tour de force of this young woman.

From a house on the frozen shores of a small Swiss lake to a gigantic classical studio to the Los Angeles mixing desk of Andrew Scheps (known for his work with Johnny Cash or My Brightest Diamond) to the mastering rooms of Bernie Grundman (Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson), Heidi Happy has stayed true to the purity of her vision and has created a timeless album. Her songs of love, loss, ports and horse rides are as haunting as the nature that surrounded their birth, as precious and innocent as the voice that gave them life and as beautifully soothing as the spring that will see them released at last.
