H3rizon started as a group after the girls gain passion and expereinces as solo artist since they were young, they all met through gigs and mutuals and that’s how the group started. With schedules and being in a three member group, it is sometimes difficult to come together for rehearsals and practice. However even when they are all individually busy with uni and work, they manage to find a day where they can come together and create beautiful harmonies for their fanbase. They are always with their content on social media, especially on Tik Tok now that they have 200k followers and on their Instagram with almost 8k followers. The artists who they idolise are Destiny’s Child; the sister duo Chloe x Halle; Tori Kelly and many more in the genres of rnb, pop, power ballads and music productions such as Jacob Collier.

With their style of music, they describe it to be authentic and unique as they fuse each elements from each other to create their sound. From each person the bring in a mix of production, vocoder, rnb and classical elements. For their creative process they work either at home or ni the studio working on harmonies and melodies by themselves. They also get help from their produce and manager for a few touch ups. Their creative process is quick as their are 3 of them, where are more ideas coming into play. For instance, with ‘Songbird’ it was prodcued in only 2 days. Going into the music industry as a group has it’s detours as their are a lot of competitors in the industry. They want to be able to promote themselves as well as other artists and groups to be more open minded and being yourself. They want people to be firm andknow who you are, as “knowing who you are is the most vital thing before going into the industry.

Verse 1: La di da a melody Escaping my mind, can’t catch with ease Running out of time, wish time could freeze Before we fade into the breeze You are my favourite song But I always seem to get the words all wrong Songbird reminds us where we’re from Won’t be the same when it’s gone La di da a melody Escaping my mind, can’t catch with ease Running out of time, wish time could freeze Before we fade into the breeze You are my favourite song But I always seem to get the words all wrong Songbird reminds us where we’re from Won’t be the same when it’s gone Pre-chorus: A quiet sky Clouded from the sights Leaves us too blind to ever take flight Chorus (harmony, Tay with main): Hold my breath, fighting so long Caged but free I’ll suffocate before it’s gone Tell me where did we go wrong?

Turn the key Songbird sing your song Verse 2: La di da a melody Escaping my mind, can’t catch with ease Running out of time, wish time could freeze Before we fade into the breeze You are my favourite song But I always seem to get the words all wrong Songbird reminds us where we’re from Won’t be the same when it’s gone

Pre-chorus: Cold to the bone need you tonight Turn my days from dark to light The way for, for us to take flight Chorus (harmony, Tay with main): Hold my breath, fighting so long Caged but free I’ll suffocate before it’s gone [Tell me] Tell me where did we go wrong?

Turn the key Songbird sing your song Bridge: It’s sickening, need a remedy Curing all of this misery Pushing, pulling won’t work for me Like I said give me clarity In return I’ll give you all of me Let the notes fall on me Then will the songbird call on me?

Need you to hear my plea If I were you I’d try to be Within the melody If it were true We could pull through the heat of us Falling apart Everything I sing out loud Wasn’t meant for the crowd So I just shut my mouth Chorus (harmony, Tay with main): Hold my breath, fighting so long [So long] Caged but free I’ll suffocate before it’s gone [Before it’s gone] Tell me where did we go wrong? ohoh Turn the key Songbird sing your song
