Dhani Harrison [d̪ʱ əni] (born 1 August 1978) is a British multi-instrumentalist musician, composer and singer-songwriter who is the only child of George and Olivia Harrison. Harrison debuted as a professional musician assisting in recording his father's final album, Brainwashed, and completing it with the assistance of Jeff Lynne after his father's death in November 2001. Harrison went on to win Best Pop Instrumental Performance for the track, "Marwa Blues", at the 2004 Grammy Awards. Harrison formed his own band, thenewno2, in 2002 and has performed at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals including Coachella where Spin Magazine dubbed their performance as one of the "best debut performance of the festival." The band also played Lollapalooza three times with Harrison joining the festival’s founder Perry Farrell on a cover of Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane” at 2010’s event. In 2017 Harrison announced he would be playing his first-ever solo shows at the Panorama Festival in NYC.
In 2013 Harrison was the face of GAP’s fall global campaign, entitled “Back To Blue.” In the same year Harrison launched his career as a composer, contributing to the score of the Warner Bros. movie Beautiful Creatures. Harrison has gone on to score the music for the TV show Good Girls Revolt, AMC’s 'The Divide, Seattle Road, Learning to Drive, and, most recently, for the Paul Giamatti produced show Outsiders.
Harrison’s music collaborations span a diverse range of genres that have seen him tour with Eric Clapton, appear on the Wu-Tang Clan track “The Heart Gently Weeps”, a reworking of The Beatles song “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, and joining Pearl Jam live on stage several times over the years. Widely regarded as one of Harrison’s most legendary collaborations was at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 where he appeared alongside Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Prince on the now infamous rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, which was performed to mark the posthumous induction of George Harrison into this hallowed music fraternity.
