Dhani Harrison, the son of legendary Beatles member George Harrison, has carved out his own path in the music industry and beyond. Born on August 1, 1978, in Berkshire, England, Dhani was raised on his father’s estate, Friar Park, where he was surrounded by music and creativity from a young age.
Despite growing up in the shadow of The Beatles’ global fame, Dhani didn’t learn about his father’s musical legacy until he was in elementary school. This revelation led to a moment where he “freaked out” at his dad for not telling him earlier. However, once he found out, Dhani quickly became involved in his father’s musical endeavors, even co-writing songs and playing lead guitar on his final album, “Brainwashed.”
After studying physics and industrial design at Brown University, Dhani realized his true calling was in music. He formed the band thenewno2 and released their debut album, “You Are Here,” in 2009. Since then, he has continued to explore his musical talents through various projects, including the band Fistful of Mercy and his solo work, winning a Grammy Award for remastering his father’s album “All Things Must Pass” in 2022.
Aside from his music career, Dhani has expressed his love for the “Star Wars” series, collecting memorabilia and reflecting on how it has influenced his life. He has also been married, tying the knot with former model Solvig Karadottir in 2012. Although the marriage ended in 2016, Dhani remains active in the music industry and continues to honor his father’s legacy while paving his own way in the industry.
With his Grammy win and dedication to his craft, Dhani Harrison is proving that he has what it takes to leave his mark on the music world, just like his famous father before him.
