Steve Harris is also known for playing an increasing role in mixing Iron Maiden's albums as well as producing them, and has done the work himself since Fear of the Dark. Harris also directs and edits many of the band's music videos, particularly live ones. He also owns a farm with music recording facilities. Harris' land has been used to write Maiden's albums on numerous occasions.

Harris has also been involved in backing vocals for Iron Maiden songs since the band's inception. Since his fellow backing vocalist Adrian Smith left Iron Maiden in 1990 (replacement Janick Gers does not sing), he has not been credited for this (after Smith's return, backing vocals have remained uncredited), since a single backing vocalist lacked as much and Harris' fame purely as a bass player had been consolidated by this point. However, he has continued to provide backing vocals when playing live performances of older Iron Maiden songs with the band. He is also well known for conspicuously "singing along" (off microphone, mouthing words) in live performances.
