Harrison is a devoted advocate for contemporary storytelling through music. He was first exposed to classical music by taking Suzuki piano lessons at the age of 4. As a kid, it wasn't hard for him to develop an ear for notable compositions as his dad regularly played Mussorgsky CDs for him to fall asleep to each night. By attending regular concerts at the Nashville Symphony, he was touched by each performance as they resonated with stories playing out within his life. At The New School (Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts), Harrison got his bachelor's in Contemporary Music, studying music composition and production. Publicity plays a crucial role in his work as he exposes himself to all corners of music: new and old, experimental and traditional. In his free time, he enjoys reading, exploring the outdoors, and catching up on new and emerging media.
