Member of Parliament
Harpreet serves as the voice of Huddersfield’s residents in Parliament, balancing her responsibilities between Westminster and her local community. In Parliament, she champions issues that matter to her constituents, participates in debates, and votes on legislation.
Back in Huddersfield, she actively engages with the community—hosting advice surgeries, attending coffee mornings and events, and visiting schools, businesses, and various organisations to stay connected with the people she represents.
Her music career began in the 1970s when she was spotted by Frank Farian who booked her as backing vocalist for Boney M on the live circuit. Sylvia soon embarked on a successful solo career, releasing her debut album Spell in 1981 which was produced by the acclaimed Jamaican producer Lloyd Charmers.
Her 1993 hit Special Way is just one example of her lasting influence in the reggae community.
