Den Harrow

Den Harrow was an Italian new wave project in the '80s and early '90s. Manuel Stefano Carry (born on June 4, 1962 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA) was chosen to be the frontman of Den Harrow. The project was popular in the second half of 1980s with hits like "Don't Break My Heart", "Bad Boy", "Catch the Fox", and "Future Brain". The name "Den Harrow" was invented by the producers of the project, which according to them is based on the Italian word "Denaro" (money).

However, Stefano Carry did not actually sing his own songs; he was essentially a character who lip-synched to vocals produced by a number of other Italo singers. In the very beginning Chuck Rolando's voice was used in the singles "To Meet Me" and "Taste of Love". Later on, Silver Pozzoli was chosen to do the single "Mad Desire"; however, most of the songs for Den Harrow project were sung by American vocalist Tom Hooker Beecher (who was residing in Italy during the Italo-Disco era), including Europe-wide hit singles "Don't Break My Heart", "Bad Boy", "Catch the Fox", and "Future Brain". [1] Hooker also produced the vocals for the album releases of "Mad Desire". Even though, Tom Hooker continued writing tracks for Den Harrow project, producers felt to bring in another vocalist into the picture with a slightly higher voice than that of Hooker's for the 1988 album called Lies. It is believed that "Den Harrow" has sold over 4 million records world-wide.


In 2006 Stefano Carry took part in a reality show: "L'isola dei famosi" on Rai Due, a channel of Italian public television.
