Bio: Los Angeles based Uh Huh Her is a dynamic pairing of musician/actress Leisha Hailey and singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Camila Grey. Inspired by a PJ Harvey B-side from ... (more)
the identically titled 2004 PJ Harvey album, their band name was born. But that’s where the borrowing begins and ends.
Uh Huh Her’s sound – a self-described indie electro-pop hybrid – is a unique and organic product of Hailey and Grey’s styles. "[The sound] is the evolution from our backgrounds," Grey says. "We slammed them all together and that's what came out." Their music has a sultriness that crashes head on with the profound, both cosmic and carnal; it is replete with elastic bass lines, ambient synths and backbeats that will seduce to the core. Most importantly, it’s a sound that landed the band in the Top 20 on iTunes with the release of its first single, "Say So," and resulted in sold out shows in LA. New York, and the UK.
The band, which released its debut EP I See Red last July, marks Hailey's return to music – she was formerly a member of the bands the Murmurs and Gush. Though she garnered success with her portrayal of journalist Alice Pieszecki on Showtime's The L Word, Hailey considers herself equal parts musician and actress. “I've never really labeled myself into any pocket of creativity,” she says. “I took to it all. I like expanding my creative horizon in any sort of way. I find that they inspire each other. They help me, especially with the live show. In a way, you're playing someone else when you're onstage."
