harmony singer
Supporting vocal part
A harmony singer provides vocal accompaniment that complements the main melody rather than carrying it.
While a lead vocalist sings the primary tune, harmony singers add supporting notes at different pitches—typically thirds or fifths above or below—creating fuller, richer sound: She started as a harmony singer before going solo.
The role requires listening closely and blending rather than standing out.
