A.k.a. Dirty Harry (2) Harry (6)

British rock singer (born 10 May 1982, London), who is now based in Los Angeles, California, United States. Since 2011 she has performed under the name The Amazonica. Originally recording as "Dirty Harry", Harry recorded two singles (the limited release industrial pop track "Eye", and "Nothing Really Matters") on her own record label, Dirty World Records, as well as an early version of her debut album, The Trouble with... Harry. However, the album's release was not an easy process and complications ensued, resulting in a legal battle leading to Harry dropping her 'Dirty' tag and rebranding herself simply as Harry. In 2004, she performed a duet on "Take" from Raymond Watts' album, Pigmartyr. In 2006, she appeared as a guest vocalist on "Making Me Crazy" for Tommy Lee's solo album, Tommyland. Two tracks were recorded ("Set Fire to Me" and "Never Stop") with Crystal Method for Hyper (5)'s album, We Control. In the same year, she sang alongside Dani Filth in Cradle of Filth's recording of "Temptation" (a cover of Heaven 17) for the album Thornography. She was also in the video for the song alongside the band. In 2003 she appeared in a controversial episode of the UK Channel 4 television programme, Faking it, where she was to help transform a choir girl into a "rock chick". Her filmwork includes a role as Sophie Johnstone in the 1992 TV series Homeward Bound, and a small role as a lady of the night, Maria, alongside Jonny Lee Miller in the 1999 British film, Plunkett & Macleane. In late 2006, Harry was chosen as the face and voice of buy.com's $30 million national US marketing campaign, recording a song for, and appearing in the television advertisement for the company.
