Interview with Harry Lee

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My project Blakey - it’s my baby and I’ve grown it over a few years to the success it has now. I never thought I’d have millions of streams
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Joe Andrew is a great producer
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: This might sound arrogant and I honestly don’t mean it to at all but the question I get asked is why am I not charging more, or more successful and the answer is re: charging - I like to charge a far price for what I do as I also know a lot of musicians are struggling and I find joy in helping / collaborating - re: successful - that’s the way the industry can be.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it’s easy!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Can you be as ho eat with yourself about what you are making as with me? Always best to strip away all the layers and keep it as real and human as possible
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I’ve been doing this for over 10 years - starting out studying music and music production at City University and then was a singer/songwriter/producer in a few bands one of which, Waylayers, toured the US and Europe, played Shepards Bush Empire and Koko in Camden, London.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Melodramatic dream synth pop
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Deadmau5 because he’s a total production genius
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Most musicians or productions that are authentic and real and don’t try and be something they are not.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: so am focusing a lot of my time in my new Pop/Rnb type project Blakey. I currently and singing and producing it.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Hate this question! Soul, warmth, feeling, musicality -the things that are actually important in music, arent either analog or digital.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise I’ll make it sound as good as I can to the taste of the artist.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: However it manifests, finding the sweet spot in a project. Usually the point at which I won’t be able to hold back a smile because it sounds good and gives a shiver!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Just be yourself and open and honest with what you want!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Mac Laptop 15in 2017 3.2 quad core Logic Pro X UA Twin Interface Shure KSM42 ATH-M50x Headphones
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mainly melodic, pop, RnB, or House Production.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I was brought up on Jazz when I was a kid, so I my default skill is understanding the melody and chords and how they intertwine with the rest of the project.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: It obviously varies from project to project, but if I'm producing a track for someone who is singing, I will figure out the basic chords and groove going and then record the vocal over that - Vocal is king and should be given most attention for most projects, and then I will build up, layer around the voice.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Never over compress!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Understanding what the client wants on an emotional level, and realising that with my ears.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mainly use Logic Pro through a Universal Audio Twin II interface - which has some of the best, if not the best preamps out there in my opinion. I have a variety of guitars, and vocal mics and keyboards. I run through Genelec 8030A monitors and have a very large collection of soft synths and mixing plugins including Native Instruments Komplete, Arturia collection, Omnisphere, Soundtoys, to name but a few!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The key is to get inside the head of the client. Understand where he/she/they are coming from and where they want to go to. When it comes to producing an artist, I will usually ask for reference artists/tracks to help understand the soundscape they are looking for. When it comes to me featuring my vocals on another project, I try to get into the feeling of the music the way they want.
