Stu Harvey

I have spent the last 25 years working in music.

Kicking things off picking orders in the Mushroom warehouse, I slowly learnt what I could, where I could from whomever would share knowledge

I’ve worked for Zomba/Jive, Mushroom, UNFD and over 10 years working for Australia's biggest independent music company Shock Records.

I am incredibly proud to have worked on campaigns for some amazing artists over the years.

I founded and hosted for 11 years Short.Fast.Loud. on triple j.

Here’s my final playlist

I decided to leave Shock in early 2013 and partnered up with another music fanatic Leigh Gruppetta to launch Cooking Vinyl Australia.

Leigh had also spent a decade at Shock.

We work with some of our favorite labels including Resist, Dine Alone, Run For Cover, Thirty Tigers, Greyscale and Triple Crown helping their artists thrive in Australia, as well as signing acts we love directing to Cooking Vinyl Australia.

We are proud that our roster of bands is not only diverse, but they're all people we actually like!

That includes Ceres, The Chats, CIVIC, Eliza & The Delusionals, Emma Donovan, Fanny Lumsden, High Tension, Jebediah, King Stingray, Luca Brasi, Parkway Drive and more soon to be announced.

Hit me up if you wanna talk music.

Outside of music I have two children who are amazing humans, and a partner Georgia, who inspires me daily, and I adore.

I am a tragic Hawthorn Football Club fan, but I blame my Dad for that… and my son blames me.

I also make a mean quesadilla.
