His longstanding friendships with Florence Welch and Jessie Ware have yielded some incredible work, and, in 2019, he co-wrote or co-produced all but one of the tracks on Harry Styles’ Grammy-winning Fine Line. Reflecting on his career in conversation with Consequence over Zoom, Kid Harpoon speaks of moments in his career by sharing stories around the relationships he’s fostered over the years. As a songwriter and producer, Kid Harpoon (born Thomas Hull) has worked with some of the very biggest names in the music industry from Calvin Harris and Shakira to Years & Years and Shawn Mendes, and countless others, he’s built the kind of career many pop producers can only dream of. If the name Kid Harpoon doesn’t immediately ring any bells, the odds are strong that you’ve still heard a song with his name somewhere in the credits. Here, we sit down with Kid Harpoon to discuss working with Harry Styles, Jessie Ware, and more. Behind the Boards is a series where we spotlight some of the biggest producers in the industry and dig into some of their favorite projects.
