I Am Harlequin is the alter ego of singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Anne Freier.
The music is defined by progressive structures, quirky lyrics and innovative arrangements. I am Harlequin music is indie pop with an electronic twist.
Anne grew up in East Germany at the end of the GDR regime. After the wall came down, her parents introduced her to the world of opera and ballet, to which she took an instant liking. She wrote her first English song when she was seven years old with the help of a bear-inspired English book for children, and her younger sister, who provided the backing vocals. The creative pair then regularly performed – using the sofa as their stage – rather uncoordinated dances, original and cover songs in front of an audience of family and friends. Anne says that, although certain recordings of these performances exist on video, she has no plans to release them anytime in the future.
When Anne is not at work on I am Harlequin, she can be found remixing and creating her first line of clothing.
Another Lazy Sunday, a group of dedicated music promoters, was lucky enough to stumble upon this talented individual. Artist promotion, through our evocative music videos and concert events, is our calling.
