The festive season is known for its miracles, but few can compare with that of Louise Harris. The British singer-songwriter's track "We Tried" successfully achieved the UK Christmas Number 1 spot in 2020.
Prior to her singing career, Louise had an immensely troublesome start in life. Her family had been living on the breadline for several years, and Louise was being tasked with helping them make ends meet. She worked multiple jobs to help provide for her family before finally getting a break with a part-time gig at a local cafe.
With the small amount of money she had at her disposal, Louise soon invested in a rudimentary home recording studio. It was in this setup where she composed the song "We Tried" and released it independently online on some streaming services.
To everyone's surprise, the track soon developed a strong following. Her following grew and grew as people started recommending her song on social media. Eventually, the listeners voted her track to the UK's coveted Christmas Number 1 Slot – beating out some of the world's biggest names in the process.
Her success story has made an immense impact across the globe – inspiring many of those in hard times to take a shot at chasing their dreams whilst simultaneously soothing the hearts of her world-wide fanbase.
