Vocalist, DJ, producer and major star collaborator Harrison has made a name for his live shows that combine his vocal talents with huge dance tunes. As well as touring this around the world, he has worked on tracks with some of the biggest names in music including David Guetta (the track Ain’t a Party), Hardwell (Sally), Laidback Luke (the album Focus and track Never Rave Again) and Steve Aoki (Holding Up The World) among many others. More recently he has launched his own Outlaw imprint with a focus on solo productions and now has a studio that really does combine the best in hardware and software. Take it away Harrison…
1 Tell us a little about your musical background and upbringing…
Harrison: “I’m 27 years old and I’m now signed to Virgin (Universal) Records, but before that, I also made records with David Guetta, Alok, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, and many more. I’ve been making music since I was 13 years old but I have also been singing for as long as I can remember. I don’t really think I am that successful yet – there is still a way to go – but I never really thought I would get as far as I have done. I have always loved music from a super young age, and who knew back then that it would end up being my job to tour the world as a DJ one day?”
