Harrison

Prolific Toronto-bred producer and musical polymath Harrison is the man behind a catalog of projects with a cult following that belies his age. Barely into his twenties and still demoing ideas in his bedroom, Harrison developed an aesthetic signature influenced by Samurai Champloo, J Dilla, Nujabes, Nintendo and Parliament, evidenced on his JUNO-nominated debut album Checkpoint Titanium (2016). Graduating from sample-based production to full-fledged composition and instrumental arrangement in subsequent years, Harrison returned with Apricity (2018), which FADER dubbed “his best album yet, ”while KEXP applauded “a vibrant record that places him nicely alongside Ryan Hemsworth, Sango, Kaytranada and Onra”. Previous singles “Around You” and “Like When We Were Kids” channel his signature buttery sound, along with the TOBi-featured single “Outta This World” showcasing one of many hook-heavy features on Harrison’s forthcoming album.
