In 1994, Greg Camp, Harwell, Kevin Coleman and Paul De Lisle created Smash Mouth. Their song “Walkin’ on the Sun” from 1997 was their first hit. The band’s 1999 single “All-Star” was featured in the 2001 movie Shrek, which helped it to return to prominence and hit the top 10 in the US.
In 2006, Harwell appeared in many episodes of the sixth season of the VH1 reality series “The Surreal Life”. In addition to making an appearance in the 2001 movie Rat Race, he has made appearances on other radio and television shows.
