Mr. Fingers

Mr. Fingers is the recording alias of Chicago-born Larry Heard, an American electronic musician associated with the early development of deep house. His music typically combines understated, syncopated drum programming with warm, melodic synths and piano chords to create spacious, soulful tracks that work in both club and listening settings. He has recorded under both the Mr. Fingers name and his given name, contributing to the shape of the deep house sound from the 1980s onward.
