Larry Heard Biography
Larry Heard originates from Chicago, Illinois, where he is recognized for his activity in the progressive music community.
He emerged publicly in 1985 from the roots of "House Music", with the debut single "Mystery of Love". This domain is
where he found an outlet for his musical ideas, even though they seem to link an extensive variety of styles. Most
people who have followed his music think of him as a multi-keyboardist even though his development was as a drummer
and percussionist in local Jazz, Rock, R&B, and Reggae bands dating back to 1977. Larry's' younger brothers dubbed him
"LooseFingers", enthralled by his swift hand movement dj-ing and dabbling with synthesizers, guitars and electric bass.
Larry likes to refer to his music as "Atmospheric" and "Passionate", and just one listen to some of his tunes confirms
just that. Larry composes lyrics and music of various styles, and always has an ample catalog of material on hand. He
has performed Production, Writing and or Re-mixing tasks for numerous labels including; Capitol, MCA, Mercury, Warner
Brothers, Virgin, EMI, Columbia, FFrr, Island, Circa and Relativity to keep the list at an arms length. Larry's' history
demonstrates a restlessly adventurous spirit that was instilled early in life, and this spirit continues to drive his work.
Larry says that he always receives positive responses when he lets people hear his music, rather than try to describe
it. Add to that the fact that Larry has had loyal followers of his projects in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
France, Britain, Italy, Japan, South Africa, Sweden and Switzerland for over 10 years now, and that's just to name a
few places where his creative work and name are widely known and respected.
