I am a bass player who places groove first and enhance the track with unique tones. I have collaborated with a number of artists and bands including Arjuna Oakes, TOI and Wiri Donna.
Harry is a freelance bass player and composer from New Zealand, now based in London. He holds a Master of Musical Arts in Jazz Performance and Composition from the New Zealand School of Music (Victoria University of Wellington), completed in 2023. After building a strong reputation in New Zealand’s music scene, he relocated to London in 2025 to further his career internationally.
Harry has performed with a wide range of high-profile acts including Arjuna Oakes, TOI, Serebii, Wiri Donna, and Tahini Bikini. His own projects span genres—from the garage rock energy of F.A.I.R.Y, to the dance rhythms of Freq, and the experimental jazz big band Reject the Natural, Become Mechanical.
Known for his deep sense of groove and feel, Harry's bass playing combines rhythmic precision with melodic flair and a unique tonal palette. He specializes in funk, soul, R&B, rock, and jazz, but is comfortable in nearly any style. Beyond bass, he crafts distinctive synth sounds and ambient textures using effects pedals.
Whether live or in the studio, Harry brings creativity, versatility, and musicality to every project. Hire him to elevate your track with a groovy, genre-fluid bass part that stands out.
