And it appears her parents background in the music industry has helped the rising star with her own career.

Harleymoon revealed that her parents support her music – but they both have different ways of giving her advice.

Dad Martin tells her “whatever I want to hear”, whereas mum Shirlie is a tougher critic.

She said: “Mum is very much the momager of our family.

"She’s the one giving advice, helping, coming up with ideas. But she’s hard to impress. She’ll tell everyone what she thinks with an honest heart. It doesn’t upset me because she’s generally right.”

Aside from her rising music career, Harleymoon is also a photographer, director and co-owner of a production company.

Is Harleymoon married with children?

Harleymoon is not married and does not have any children.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, she opened up about her dating life and revealed that she's not found love in years.

What has Harleymoon said about her famous family?

In December 2022, Harleymoon revealed what it was like growing up with famous parents.

The 33 year old singer opened up about her love life and how she's been single for seven years – something she blames her famous mum and dad's nearly 35 year marriage for.

She said: “I’m single because I’ve not found anyone good enough.

“I know what ‘good’ looks like — my parents are very much in love, they hang out together all the time and are best friends.

“When that’s what you’re looking for, the bar’s set quite high.

“They have ruined romance for me, for sure.”

Now, Harleymoon believes no relationship can live up to her parents love story .

She explained: “When people end up with men like their dad, I get it. My dad’s so kind and passionate.

“But finding someone who matches that is proving very tricky.

“I remember when my parents released a Christmas album. They played in the Royal Symphony Hall, singing love songs to each other. How am I meant to compete with that?”

Despite not finding love yet, Harleymoon has definitely found success – and so has her brother Roman.

Roman, who reaches over 2.5million listeners a week with his Capital Radio show, has seen his profile soar over the years – and he has his sister Harleymoon to thank for quietly helping kick-start his career.

Harleymoon said: “I helped to get him his agent. I took him to auditions when he was younger. When he was 16, he was trying to work out what he wanted to do.

''I was a photographer, so I did a shoot with him and sent it to modelling agencies. In turn he gets behind all my projects.”

Harleymoon also admitted that her friends say she’s the “invisible” Kemp – due to her absence from family projects such as Celebrity Gogglebox.

But it wasn't because she didn't want to be an armchair critic – sheactually knew nothing about her family's appearance on the popular Channel 4 show.

She revealed: “I wasn’t bloody invited. I had no idea it was even happening. For so long I’ve been behind the scenes.

“I became a photographer and set up a production company. I also direct fashion adverts so I’m used to being behind the camera.

“When I did go to events with my family and we were pictured in the papers, my mates would joke that it would be ‘Martin, Shirlie, Roman and sister’. They always tease me about it.

“When Gogglebox came out, my friend saw it in the paper — a picture of the family and even the three dogs were in it — and she drew a little stick man where I should be and wrote, ‘Look at you all on the sofa!’ It’s hilarious, but I genuinely didn’t know about it.''

Harleymoon also revealed that she knows how women view her dad and has accepted his status as a sex symbol.

She explained: “It’s not weird to think of him in that way. He’s good looking. It’s the same with Roman. Good male genes run in the family. And Mum doesn’t mind.

“In fact she’s the one telling him to look good, to make sure his hair’s cut — she’s the one making sure Operation Kemp runs smoothly.”
