Larry Heard (born May 31, 1960)^[1] is an American DJ, record producer and musician^[1] who has recorded solo under various names, most notably Mr. Fingers. He is widely known as a pioneering figure in 1980s Chicago house music, and was leader of the influential group Fingers Inc., whose 1988 album Another Side was the first long-form house LP. He is regarded as a progenitor of deep house music,^[2] bridging the gap between the futurism of house and the lush, soulful sound of disco.^[3][4] His landmark 1986 single 'Can You Feel It' would be a major influence on dance music.^[5]

Early life[edit]

Born on the South Side of Chicago, Heard grew up hearing jazz and Motown at home, and could play several instruments from a young age.^[1] Before beginning his solo musical career in 1983, he was the drummer, at the age of 17,^[6] in the band Infinity (a jazz fusioncover group that included Adonis). He is sometimes cited as having been a member of the Manhattan Transfer,^[1] but Heard has denied this, saying, '[I] filled in for somebody on one show.'^[7] He also worked for the US government as a benefit authorizer, which enabled him to buy his first pieces of studio equipment.^[1]

Musical career[edit]

Heard began producing music in 1984 after purchasing a synthesizer and drum machine; after a few days with the gear, he had recorded three tracks that would later be regarded as landmarks of house music: 'Can You Feel It', 'Mystery of Love', and 'Washing Machine.'^[3] Despite initially not having a connection to Chicago's club scene, he eventually met singer and DJ Robert Owens at a party and the two formed the group Fingers Inc. along with Ron Wilson.^[3] The group would release the LP Another Side in 1988.^[3] Around this time, Heard also began releasing solo singles as Mr. Fingers on Trax Records and DJ International.^[3] At the end of the decade, Trax released Amnesia, which compiled Heard's early tracks; it was released without Heard's permission.^[3]

In 1989, Heard contributed to the debut album by producer Lil' Louis. In the early 1990s, he recorded with Harry Dennis as the It^[1] before setting out on his own, signing with MCA Records as a solo act in 1991 and releasing his first official Mr. Fingers album Introduction in 1992 to international success.^[3] After the label interfered with his Mr. Fingers follow-up, he released the less dance-oriented album Sceneries Not Songs, Vol. 1 in 1995 under his given name.^[3] He continued to record intermittently in the following years, and released the Mr. Fingers album Cerebral Hemispheres in 2018.^[8] Much of Heard's music has been released and re-released under different names, including Loosefingers, Fingers, House Factors, and Trio Zero.
