Hartkamp, ​​who grew up between Essen and Düsseldorf, first studied classical singing in Vienna before switching to studying German and musicology at the University of Bonn . There she approached jazz autodidactically and then studied jazz singing at the Amsterdam Hogeschool voor de kunsten with Deborah Brown , Humphrey Campbell and Erik van Lier . After graduating, she moved to Cologne. In the early 1990s she was co-founder of the a cappella quartet Harem 4 , with which she gave numerous concerts at home and abroad. Under the pseudonym Magnolia she also gave solo concerts and worked between 1997 and 2003 with Gunter Hampel , but occasionally also with Marion Brown and Perry Robinson .

After Harem 4 broke up in 2001, she concentrated on German-language songs (with her own lyrics) and founded the band hartkamp , with whom she released two albums. In this context, the State Music Council of North Rhine-Westphalia accepted her in 2007 in its funding for women composers.
