PJ Harvey

Polly Jean Harvey, born October 9 1969 in Yeovil and raised in nearby Corscombe (Dorset), is a British singer and songwriter. She has recorded as a solo artist under the name PJ Harvey, but she began her career as part of a trio (with Rob Ellis and Steve Vaughn) also named PJ Harvey. She has cultivated a reputation for eccentricity to match her music (for example, she purportedly lives on a diet of potatoes).

Harvey released her debut single, "Dress" in 1991; she released her first LP Dry in 1992. (A limited edition double LP containing both Dry and the demos for Dry, called Dryer/Demonstration, was also released at this time.) She drew fire in 1991/1992 when she appeared topless on the cover of the British magazine New Musical Express; until then she had been considered unambiguously feminist.
