Biography

Heidi Berry (born December 8, 1958) is a British-American singer-songwriter. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, she recorded and released four critically acclaimed solo albums on the British independent record labels Creation and 4AD, for which she is best known.

Her earliest release on Creation Records was the 1987 Folk-Rock styled mini-album, Firefly. A second Creation release, Below The Waves followed in 1989, which saw a more eclectic musical style emerging for Berry. Her association with 4AD began with a guest vocal on Blood (This Mortal Coil album) in 1991, where she contributed to their reworking of a Rodney Crowell classic, “'Til I Gain Control Again”. Berry eventually moved over to 4AD as a signed artist, releasing three solo albums, Love (1991), Heidi Berry (1993), and Miracle (1995). The album Heidi Berry achieved a minor hit with the lovely “The Moon and the Sun”, and the subsequent album… yielded tours in the UK, Europe and the USA. Each of her solo albums achieved critical acclaim, and Berry's music garnered a devoted cult audience. Pomegranate: An Anthology was her final 4AD release in 2001. This featured the song, “Needle's Eye”, a song written by Berry, and produced by Patrick Fitzgerald (Kitchens of Distinction, Stephen Hero) as part of their collaborative project, Lost Girls.
