The son of a radio DJ who introduced him to the world of record collecting,
Harris grew up with music, progressing from violin, to high school drum-
line, to the Jazz Studies program at Virginia Commonwealth University.
He also continued working with other instruments and developed an
interest in sampling. His development as a producer – at first, without
a computer or sampler – came first learning to replay samples on the
drums, piano, bass or guitar.
DJ Harrison finds himself inspired by local musicians in the Richmond
scene that’s as diverse and nonexclusive as they come. Among rappers,
producers, punks and bluegrass bands, he falls within reach of an
expansive pool of musicians to collaborate with. He lives and works in
Jellowstone, a house turned recording compound occupied by his band
mates in Butcher Brown, a “garage punk jazz funk” group. |
