I Am Harlequin is the alter ego of singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Anne Freier.
“It all started in 2008, with some very basic ideas..."
The music is defined by progressive structures, quirky lyrics and innovative arrangements. I am Harlequin music is indie pop with an electronic twist and a strong DIY mentality.
Anne is influenced by classical music and is particularly fond of interesting choir arrangements. Amongst her favourite composers are the Russians of the 20th century (Prokofiev, Rimski-Korsakow, Rachmaninoff), as well as Stephen Sondheim. Her biggest pop inspirations are Kate Bush, Rickie Lee Jones, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos, whom she listened to from an early age.
Anne was born in East Germany at the end of the GDR regime. As a child her parents took her to see the opera and ballet to which she took an instant liking. It was only after the wall fell, besides some illegal magnetic tape recordings her father had made, that she got to enjoy international pop and rock freely.
