Covert has hired Harvey Gunn as Sound Designer & Composer.
Gunn’s skill set encompasses original composition and sound design, as well as producing, engineering, and audio post-production. In his role, he will expand the studio’s capabilities in sound design, Foley, music consultancy, dialogue editing and restoration, and final mix.
“I first came across Harvey through his group Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn, and I was immediately hooked on his music,” says Max Murphy, Managing Director & Partner at Covert. “I then discovered he was equally accomplished as a commercial composer and sound designer, and I just had a hunch he’d vibe perfectly with us and enhance what we can offer clients under one roof.”
“From the moment I met Max and learned about Covert’s creative culture and remote model, I knew it was the right place for me,” adds Gunn. “Everything they do is held to the highest standard and built on a foundation of exceptional talent. I feel privileged to be part of this roster. Everyone here is deeply passionate about their craft and brings a strong work ethic–values I share.”
As one-half of the genre-blending Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn, he has amassed hundreds of millions of streams, leading to collaborations with Loyle Carner and Kojey Radical, plus sold-out headline shows from Europe to Australia.
Starting as an editor and engineer in Soho and Brighton post houses, Gunn has helped bring award-winning campaigns to life for global brands, including Pepsi and Guinness, as well as entertainment giants such as Paramount, Disney, BBC, DreamWorks, and Channel 4.
Gunn’s commercial career began at Wafer Audio and Fitzrovia Post, where he built a reputation on sports campaigns. Between stints as a touring musician, he freelanced across a wide range of projects. Recent highlights include sound design and audio post for “Trust is Alive,” a visually poetic fashion film for jeweler BLEUE BURNHAM; original music and audio post for an Adidas spot featuring José Mourinho; and audio post for a series of comedy spots for Hotspur FC. Gunn also produced the official remix of The Zombies’ “Time of the Season” for Chelsea Football Club’s kit launches.
