L.P. released only in Canada w singles “Sinful Wishes” & "S.O.L.".

He also released his own solo singles "Funk Like Dat", "Why'd Ya Let Her", "Dive In The Pool" ,"I Got My Pride". Harris co-created Thunderpuss in 1997 - 2005 most famous for the world-wide dance mix of Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay”.
