Kid Harpoon最早的音乐生涯起源于Chatham，当时他经常在当地的一些集会场所进行演唱。当他在当地小有名气之后，他参与录制了一张由Urban Fox通讯社发行的联合CD并在广播电台中进行了播放。在那之后他来到了北伦敦的Holloway并继续追逐他的音乐事业，并且定期的在当地一个名为Nambucca的集会场所进行表演。
Kid Harppon的第一首正式的单曲是'Riverside'，该首单曲由独立发行商Brikabrak于2006年以7寸盘及CD的形式发行。另一首单曲'It's Time'则获得了来自NME及Drowned in Sound的好评。在那之后，Kid于2007年10月22日发行了自己的第一张EP专辑。第二张EP专辑发行于2008年2月18日。

Although Tom Hull was born in Chatham, it was his move to London, and taking on the performance name of Kid Harpoon that would earn him enough exposure to promote a handful of single and EP releases that would be critically well-received. Harpoon released his first single, "Riverside," in 2006 on the Brikabrak label, and soon followed the seven incher with an EP entitled The First EP. A second EP, similarly -- and obviously -- titled as the first, The Second EP earned him even more attention, and his live shows were fleshed out with a full band. That band, called the Powers That Be (Clayton Boothroyd, Tom Bonner, Jon Jackson, Florian Lunaire, and Mr. Squeaky), also teamed up with Harpoon in the studio to work on his debut album, which was due in the spring of 2008.
