Brian Lee Harvey (born 8 August 1974) is an English musician. Harvey was the lead singer of pop band East 17, later renamed E-17. E-17 had two UK Top 20 singles between 1998 and 1999 with the album Resurrection reaching the UK Top 50. After E-17 Harvey signed a record deal with Edel Records and had two singles released in 2001, "Straight Up (No Bends)" (#26 UK) and "Loving You (Ole Ole Ole)" (#20 UK).
Harvey was born in Walthamstow, London. He was initially being considered as a backing singer and dancer for East 17, however during the initial recording session recording staff heard him singing along, and as a result he was made lead singer of the band.
Harvey's vocal style emulated R&B and new jack swing vocalists from the United States. His vocals put him into a position of the band's frontman, or main member, which was shared with the band's creator, songwriter, instrumentalist, rapper and singer Tony Mortimer.
