Kid Harpoon (Original Music) Born in Chatham, England, Thomas Hull – better known as Kid Harpoon – is a GRAMMY and BRIT Award-winning producer, songwriter, and musician whose genre-defying work has helped define the sound of modern pop. After launching his career as a solo artist in the mid-2000s, he quickly emerged as one of music’s most sought-after collaborators, hailed by Billboard as “pop’s new secret weapon.”
Spanning artists at the top of their game across pop, rock, country, alt, and Latin, his credits include Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Florence + the Machine, Inhaler, King of Leon, Jessie Ware, David Byrne and more.
His long-running collaboration with Styles includes all three of the artist’s albums, most notably Harry’s House, which Kid Harpoon co-wrote and co-produced, winning Album of the Year at both the GRAMMY and BRIT Awards. The album’s single “As It Was” spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, became the UK’s best-selling single of 2022, and has surpassed 2 billion global streams.
He was also behind Miley Cyrus’ global juggernaut “Flowers,” which broke Spotify’s all-time streaming records in back-to-back weeks and won both Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 2024 GRAMMYs. The track has now exceeded 2.5 billion streams worldwide.
Most recently, Kid Harpoon produced and co-wrote all 12 tracks on David Byrne’s upcoming album, and with his latest foray into Broadway, he continues to cement his reputation as one of the most visionary and versatile talents in music today.
