Early years

Liam Paul Paris Howlett[1] was born on 21 August 1971 in Braintree, Essex, England.[2] Howlett was trained in classical piano (from childhood).[3]

He went to his first rave in 1989.[4]

Music career

The Prodigy

Template:Main article Howlett formed the Prodigy in 1990.[5]

Other musical projects

In 1998, Howlett was offered the chance to do a mix for Mary Anne Hobbs' radio show. He dug out some of his old favourite tracks again and this prompted him to release an edited (due to some copyright issues) version of the mix in February 1999. It was the first material which was recorded in his new home studio "The Dirtchamber", so accordingly the album was to be called Prodigy present The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One.

In 1999, Howlett composed music for the film The Uranus Experiment. Described as an "anal space opera",[6] the film featured the first sex scene shot in microgravity.[7][8]

At the end of January 2006, a compilation album titled Back to Mine: Liam Prodigy was released. It was a collection of Howlett's favourite tunes, including an exclusive Prodigy track called "Wake the Fuck Up", which was often performed as an intro in the Prodigy's live concerts.

Howlett was a co-producer on the track "Immunize" from Australian drum and bass act Pendulum's third album Immersion, which was released in 2010.

In 2012, Howlett co-produced the first single "We Hate Everyone" from K.Flay's EP Eyes Shut.[9] He also produced the song "Stop, Focus" from the same EP.[10]

On 30 March 2022, it was announced that Howlett would compose the musical score for the Netflix film Choose or Die.[11]

Personal life

Howlett has been married to Natalie Appleton of All Saints since 2002.[12][13] They have a son, born in 2004,[14][15] and live in Hampstead, London.[16]
