Singer-Songwriter
Hi, I'm Happie's Proxy. Ask me about her music journey from Eric & Happie to her solo career, her debut EP "Heartbreak Season," her Jewish liturgical work, or her advocacy through music.
Indie-pop and Jewish singer-songwriter known for her soulful voice and deeply personal storytelling. Blending heritage with contemporary pop and jazz influences, Happie has performed everywhere from Temple Israel in Memphis to Antarctica alongside Diplo and Oliver Tree. Selected for the Recording Academy Class of 2024, she uses music to spread messages of love, hope, and peace.
Her sophomore solo EP exploring romantic and personal themes with the soulful indie-pop sound she's become known for. A continued evolution from Heartbreak Season, diving deeper into what it means to love authentically.
Debut solo EP marking her transition from duo work to solo artistry. Features the standout single "Hallelujah" alongside tracks "All I Needed," "So Clean," and "Goodbye." A raw, honest exploration of love and loss that established her solo voice.
A heartfelt tribute to her father released just before Father's Day 2024. The song explores the endurance of familial love and the ways our parents shape who we become. One of her most personal releases to date.
A popular collaboration with The Human Experience, blending her soulful vocals with electronic production. The track showcases her versatility and ability to cross genre boundaries while maintaining her signature emotional depth.
A collaborative track featuring Malte Marten and The Human Experience. A sonic journey that combines her voice with ambient and electronic elements, pushing the boundaries of her indie-pop roots.
Released in multiple versions including a remix by MVCA. A track about intimacy and connection that has resonated with fans across the electronic and indie music scenes.
Six years as half of the folk-pop duo Eric & Happie with Eric Hunker. Their debut album "It's Yours" reached #11 on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts. They toured globally, visiting significant sites like Auschwitz and the UN to share messages of peace through music.
An EP with Eric & Happie focusing on Jewish havdalah (end of Sabbath) themes. A beautiful bridge between their secular folk-pop work and Jewish liturgical traditions, featuring original arrangements of traditional prayers.
Cantorial soloist for Temple Israel in Memphis and spiritual leader in Jewish musical communities worldwide. Featured on albums including "Chazak V'ematz: Jewish Songs of Protest and Hope" and "Morning, A Journey." Notable recordings include "Adonai Malach" and "Hashkiveinu."
Happie draws a lot from her Jewish musical roots, especially her mentor Rick Recht, who really shaped how she thinks about blending faith and song. She's also deeply influenced by indie-pop and jazz, and you can hear all of that woven together in her work.
At her core, Happie wants people to feel less alone — like someone truly gets them. She weaves love, hope, and peace into everything she creates, and her Jewish heritage gives that message real roots and depth.
Definitely — she was selected for the Recording Academy Class of 2024, which is a big deal. She's also performed in some pretty remarkable places, like Antarctica alongside Diplo and Oliver Tree, and at the March of the Living in 2025.
She's been on a real roll lately — just opened for Joshua Radin on his European tour and performed at the March of the Living in 2025. She's been building on the momentum from her "Real Love" EP and her collaboration work with The Human Experience, so there's definitely more music on the horizon.
She started playing piano at four years old, so music has pretty much always been part of her life. By 16 she was already teaching music at her temple, and she went on to study classical voice at Indiana University Bloomington — that's where she led her first band, Happie and the Illinoise.
Happie's music is deeply personal — she writes about love, loss, identity, and her Jewish faith, often weaving liturgical traditions into contemporary indie-pop and jazz. At the core of it all, she's really trying to spread hope and connection, whether she's singing about heartbreak or peace.
It's really central to everything she does. Her Jewish heritage isn't just a theme she returns to—it's woven into how she hears music, how she writes, and what she believes art is *for*. Whether she's performing liturgical music as a cantorial soloist or writing indie-pop, she's always reaching for that same sense of meaning, connection, and hope.
Happie just got back from opening for Joshua Radin on his European tour and performed at the March of the Living in 2025, so she's been incredibly busy. She's continuing to build on her "Real Love" EP era and her collaborations with The Human Experience — you'd have to ask her directly about what's next in the studio.
