About HARLEAN PALFREY

I tend to write songs that live between languages, English and German. My new, upcoming music project doesn't fit neatly into boxes—it's shaped by everything I absorb, from daily chaos to quiet moments that catch you off guard.

The pandemic gave me space to initially figure out who I am as an artist. I released my debut EP Kiss and album Twists of L in 2021 in collaboration with other songwriters in the US, recording at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. Those tracks captured something raw—maybe the weird energy of that time, or maybe I finally stopped overthinking.

I believe music is better when it's shared. That's why I started The Pop Rock Club on Spotify which connects artists and listeners worldwide, whether independent or label-signed.

I curate it like introducing friends.

In August 2025, I completed my Postgraduate studies, MA Creative Writing at the University of Galway and now you can spot me again crafting new songs that capture different genres—from Soul, Pop to 90´s and Electronic anthems.

I'm also publishing fiction and poetry, expanding my portfolio beyond music.

What Listeners Think

Daniela, professionally known as Harlean Palfrey, contacted me in early October 2019 in relation to an EP of original tracks that she wanted to record and I have to say that from start to finish she was an exceptional person to work with. Firstly, she is extremely organised and gave me specific dates that she wanted to record on. I wasn’t available for one of them, but she was flexible and we agreed on another date.

On analysing the songs and hearing a bit about the background behind the songs, I learned that these were quite personal songs. I regard vulnerability as true strength and was surprised at the way Daniela so easily got out of the way of the songs and took direction. She was able to take any suggestion to help improve convey the message of the song, which helped to make them truly great! She has an amazingly beautiful rich Alto voice too!

Overall, I would have no hesitation in recommending working with Daniela alias Harlean Palfrey.

Her willingness to learn from others and work to make the project the very best it can be is model that all artists should follow.

I hope to work with her again in the near future.
