Music shaped Harper’s entire childhood, with her family deeply rooted in music, specifically in bluegrass gospel. She began performing with relatives at age nine, singing at churches and community gatherings.
In recent years, she has kept a low profile while serving as a worship leader at a small Missouri church, where she met her husband, Devon. The couple married and now have three sons, and Harper has focused on raising them. But throughout, her love for music remained constant.
