CONNECT WITH HARMONY

Harmony Chea is a contemporary R&B to indie/pop Guam-based artist. She began songwriting at the age of 13 when she received her first guitar. Like many other aspiring artists, she released original music on Sound Cloud. Throughout her teens she would also post videos of her performing covers and originals across social media platforms.

Harmony’s growing momentum from her soulful lyrics and serene voice gave her the opportunity to open for Jhené Aiko’s first live performance in 2018 on Guam. A few months later, Harmony opened for Kehlani, who also arrived to the island during her first Asia Tour.

In 2021, she released her first EP titled, “Ceased,” and her debut album, “Guarded,” in April 2023. On the night of the Leo Full Moon in January 2024, Harmony headlined a live concert event, “Guarded: Phases of the Moon,” that included an opening act line-up of underground artists and opened a portal to Guam’s community. This event she created was to not only highlight her music journey and her connection to the natural cycles of this world, but empower other independent artists with her storytelling in an inclusive, safe space.

In May 2024, she traveled to play her first state-side show in Seattle to open for r&b artist, CLAY, on her North America Tour. Harmony is currently on Guam curating a new portal to take the form of an EP to be released Spring 2025.
