Harold's story

Chicago-based Harold wrote his first releases in the early 90’s with artists like Ron Trent, Terry Hunter, Maurice Joshua and Ron Carroll with songs such as “Ritual Of Love” and Barbara Tucker’s “I Get Lifted”. Throughout the late 90’s he was well known for his songs under his ‘Blak Beat Niks’ alias with production partner K. Fingers on PAN Records, Large Music and his own label Melodious Fonk with “The Sun Will Shine”. The 2000’s saw him move on to further projects with the likes of Slip N Slide, Mark Knight, Peppermint Jam, Glenn Underground, Makin’ Moves and Sean McCabe.

Moving into the next chapter, “Peripheral Vision” is a genre-spanning journey, drawing influences from a multitude of angles and providing a true reflection of Harold’s passion for song writing and spoken word, with a host of guest producers and vocalists.

In Harold's words he explains how the album represents 3 chapters of his life... "The first chapter represents an introduction to my creative side and vision when being unashamedly artistic. I consider what message I want to convey through my first opportunity. The middle chapter represents a time when I wrote about what I knew - my broken heart and a new beginning in life and music. The last chapter is my spiritual journey bringing me to some harsh realities that led me to the truth about myself and worthy of love and life being 'Who I Am'."
