Heidi Berry is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on December 8, 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Berry was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1958. She is the third child of four children. Her mother, Beth, was a jazz singer from Quebecois heritage. Don Berry worked in theatre and film. Most notably, she appeared alongside Ed Harris in the George A Romero 1981 classic, Knightriders. After her parents divorced, the Berry family moved between New York City and New Hampshire. Her mother married John F. C. Turner in Britain, where they settled in London in 1973.
Berry toured extensively in 1991-1993 across the USA, Europe and the UK. Red House Painters and Mazzy Star were just a few of the highlights. Brendan Perry, of Dead Can Dance, toured with her and she recorded many songs, including “The Devil”, which he produced in his studio in Ireland. This song was also released on the 4AD label’s promo CD “Shaving The Pavement”.
In 1999, she formed Lost Girls, a collaboration with Patrick Fitzgerald of Kitchens of Distinction, releasing the single “Needle’s Eye”.

If Berry’s music has proved difficult to classify, Ivo Watts-Russell, considered this a strength. He said of her work in 2013, “Music often has to do with the time when [it was] made, but Heidi’s three albums transcend that for me. Her albums are at the core of what I hoped I was doing with 4AD, to represent people who could express themselves in music that has nothing to do with the flow and flavour of the decade in which they were made. It’s the same reasons why Nick Drake’s music works for people. Heidi’s music is not about where she fitted in. Instead, it has great lasting value.” .
Creation Records released her first album, Firefly, in 1987. A second Creation album, ‘Below The Waves,’ was released in 1989. Berry’s musical style evolved to be more diverse. 4AD first connected her to Berry in 1991 when she was a guest singer on Blood (This Mortal Coil) and where she helped with the reworking of Rodney Crowell’s classic “Til I Gain Control Again”. Berry was eventually signed by 4AD and released three solo albums: Love (1991), Heidi Berry (1993), & Miracle (1995). The album, Heidi Berry, was a minor hit, with the song “The Moon and the Sun”. The following albums were released in the UK, Europe, and the USA. Berry’s music was embraced by a dedicated cult following, and the albums received critical acclaim. Pomegranate Anthology, her last 4AD release in 2001 was Pomegranate. This album featured Berry’s song “Needle’s Eye” which was produced by Patrick Fitzgerald (Kitchens of Distinction and Stephen Hero) as part of their collaboration project, Lost Girls.
