Stanley Harris Jr. (born in Santa Ana, California, U.S.) is a music producer, rapper and singer in Los Angeles, California. He records under the stage name Quaze or Quazedelic. He received his big break into the music industry when rapper Snoop Dogg signed him to Doggystyle Records in 2001. He is most recognized for his funk music style production. His first major release with the Doggystyle Records crew was on the soundtrack of Undercover Brother, where he produced the single, Give Up the Funk. The song featured Snoop Dogg, Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley, Kokane and Quazedelic. Later he went on to work with many other Hip-Hop and R&B artists like Angie Stone, Baby Bash, G-Unit, Dub C, Redman, Suga Free and Goldie Loc from the Eastsidaz.
Quazedelic was born in Santa Ana, California where he was raised as a bi-racial child. His mother is a Caucasian woman from a small town in Bishop, California and his father was an African American man from Texas. He endured many difficulties as a bi-racial child and targeted his energy towards his early love for music. By 1982 he was living on the Eastside of Long Beach where he bought his first Atomic Dog 45 album from the famous VIP Records. By 1986 Quaze moved to Alabama with his parents where he experienced even more racial tension in the Cooper Green Projects. He formed a rap group and entered a local radio station rap contest. The rap group won the contest and caught the eye of Anthony Ray also known as Seattle rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot. He started out as a young dancer for the rapper and began touring the South on a Chittlin Circuit Tour. Soon after Quazedelic began producing for the mix-a-lot crew. In 1989 Quaze moved to Vancouver Canada where he started his rap career with rap partner Ease. The two became EQ, one of the very first popular-radio spun rap groups to originate from Vancouver Canada.
