Harvey is a member of the seven-piece group XG, which is made up of Japanese members based in South Korea who perform in English. She is described in press as the doll-faced rapper of the lineup. She trained with XGALX for roughly five years before the group debuted in March 2022 with "Tippy Toes". Her tastes lean on Michael Jackson and on the music her parents played at home, and she has helped shape the group's "Y3K" look, which blends early 2000s trends with modern touches.
Where they grew up
Harvey grew up in Japan, as did the rest of XG, and spent roughly five years in training before the group debuted in 2022. During that time she studied English and Korean heavily, because she dreamed of rapping in three languages. She has said her musical tastes were shaped strongly by her parents, and she names Michael Jackson as a childhood favorite. When she finally rapped in English, Korean and Japanese on the "GALZ XYPHER" video, she described it as a long-held dream coming true. No page names her hometown.
