Harle Quinn is an urban electro music producer from the UK.

Harle Quinn has always been around music, and instruments, growing up in a pentecostal church environment, where music is often put to the forefront, and although many agree to disagree on this point, it's the gospel truth.

Harle Quinn however, falls very far from the tree of his gospel roots, favouring types of music not usally heard in this type of household, growing up listening to DMX, firmly gripping the volume fader whenever it's explicit nature surfaced.

Harle Quinn is a classical pianist & drummer who produces & assists artists in writing songs.

QUOTE
"I couldn't get hip hop on my radio, church every sunday Dad made me go..."

Being a producer, he has savoured the flavour of music from all over the world, from varying cultures to sub-cultures within, and the style of music found to be his expressed outcome, is in it's simplest form an interwoven matrix of style, musical adaptaion which is best served chilled.

This isn't an artist who chooses to make remixes of whatever is currently hot, but decides to think ahead, and as firm as his grip on the faders, is an equally firm belief that his production style & techniques will show an artists' versatility, potential to expand & uniqueness.

Harle Quinn has hundreds of tracks, and for the right price will design & produce artist-specific work for your demo requirements, singles or even remix projects.
Why this name?
Harle Quinn, derived from the word 'harlequin';
a humorous character in plays at the theatre, especially in the past, who wears brightly-coloured clothes with a diamond pattern, the colours represent the genres of music incorporated into the music.

Harlequins were often musical entertainers for kings & queens in the middle ages.

Do you play live?
Harle Quinn is soon likely to gig back-to-back with NSG, & drums for PornStar Project, a UK indie band.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The change, has been said to be the single best thing since sliced bread.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
With a well-paid solicitor's guidance, it would become something to consider, yet still be unlikely.
