HARLUM on SoundBetter

Ive been producing for a little over 7 years, at first it was all predominantly EDM having one song in the Viral charts of AUS, but I'm now into the Rap // Hip-Hop // Pop scene. I work extensively with artist all around the world and Ive come to soundbetter to expand my portfolio! Lets get it!

Im happy to produce new or already set out ideas to your satisfaction! Im very exeprianced in Ableton and I know I can take your project to the next level. I have produced music for a wide range of artist around the world and I'm always interested in working with new talent!

Having worked with some very distinguished artist and engineers around the globe, I have obtained excellent knowledge and ears to help propel your project to the next level!

I had DJ Swivel (Grammy winning engineer) mix the 3 songs on my spotify portfolio and working with him taught me the difference bewteen good music and proffesional music.

I also own my own record label and can offer my services to helping you with releasing music and sorting out all of the "music biz" stuff that can be hard to understand!

I'm happy to do as many reviews as necessary, Im also keen to mix in vocals and help produce the song entirely with your vocals if need be until you are 100% happy with the song.

My turn around time will be quick and the work will be at a proffesional level, so hit me up and lets work!

This guy is TALENTED ! I hired HARLUM to create a new, fuller & more modern sounding track for me based on what I put together with the included Pro Tools plug-ins / super basic sounds, and he nailed it (and with a 2-week deadline). HARLUM was communicative, enthusiastic, attentive and super easy to work with. He didn't mind hopping on the phone to chat through the details and really understand your need. Looking forward to working with HARLUM again !

Worked with HARLUM on a bunch of songs in the engineering side. Smooth communication and super easy to work with. He knows how a hit song should sound like!

Interview with HARLUM

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Producer on an album for Caleb - proud because we did 1 album and scrapped it because we both grew in the first one, now the 2nd is incredible
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Multiple projects with artists around the world
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Matt Sim - an engineer that is amazing. Caleb Kennedy - Vocalist and Lyricist (incredible at both)
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: digital, I can work in my loungeroom if I want to, or at my friend's.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Next-level music production that will sound top tier.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: the freedom of doing what I love to do, and doing it how I want to.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can you make something with this vibe? - yes.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Everyone thinks a producer should be able to write to anything, but we don't. We have to feel and enjoy it too.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Who do you want to sound like?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: know what you want, I think its good to have a reference of what you want - because if you go in with a "whatever" kind of attitude and you're disappointed with the result, you've got yourself to blame!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: my laptop, ATX-m50x's, komplete kontrol , Apollo twin, and my coffee machine.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been producing for 7 years, I originally started out as a DJ and making dance music, but something about dance just wasn't it for me.

A: I would love to work with the weeknd, Able has always been a huge inspiration for me.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If something doesn't sound right after a couple of tries, scrap it and start again - don't waste time trying to make something sound good that never sounded good from the get-go.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop, rap and rnb
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: 808s, counter melodies and stacking sounds to make it sound like 1 sound.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I can bring next-level production, A lot of music I hear just needs a couple of things to make it that 'next level', that's what I can provide.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to hear a sample of where the song's original idea was heading, and then I can build an entire song surrounding that vision.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I am running Ableton and nearly every plug-in imaginable haha - I have an obsession with plug-ins haha
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I love 'take a day trip' and 'internet money'
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I really enjoy pop, rap, and RnB music!
