What makes a great record? Is it immersive production? Memorable songwriting? What about components like vocal delivery, rhyme scheme or flow? For three-time GRAMMY nominee Bernard Harvey — known professionally as HARV — a great record has more to do with emotion than any particular musical component.

"When I hear any song, I just want to feel something," Harv explains in the below episode of Behind The Board. "Music is supposed to pull every emotion out of us, and if it's genuine and the sonics are right and everything is perfect, it's a great record."

With collaborations ranging from Justin Bieber to Summer Walker to Eminem, the Kansas City native has a knack for getting the most out of his diverse pool of artists — a skill he says he learned from Dr. Dre.

Thanks to his work on Bieber's hit single "Peaches," HARV earned three nominations at the 2022 GRAMMYs: Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Album Of The Year (Justice: Triple Chucks Deluxe).
