Ali has joined up with WARM Music/Big Green Bamboo, a European publishing company, which has given her an opportunity to explore the commercial side of the music industry. Ali has begun writing and recording original music for television advertising campaigns. Ali has also brought in Cory Allen as her publicist, who is known for his work with controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards.

Ali can also be heard collaborating on the new Wax Tailor album, available in September 2009, on the first single, which she co-wrote with Wax Tailor and New Orleans' 'Voice', titled, ‘This Train'.

Kickstarter Controversy

Ali Harter was the subject of mild controversy from her fan base for failing to deliver on a funded Kickstarter project. 148 fans funded over $12,000 for the promise of an album entitled 'Near the Knuckle' in 2013. Due to a series of catastrophic life events, the finished album was shelved shortly after its completion. In early 2019 Harter announced that her family was on the mend and that the record would be released later that year. Updates can be found on the original kickstarter campaign and at www.pigsflyshop.com ^[2]
