Growing up in Delaware, Ohio, about 30 miles outside Columbus, singer and songwriter Ian Harrison built himself a musical oasis, dreaming of one day creating music for the world to hear. Inspired by everyone from Maroon 5, Noah Kahan, Billy Joel, The Lumineers, Bruce Springsteen, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ian learned to play guitar and piano and started singing at church and in choir. His mother’s love for 2000s country and ‘80s classics, along with his dad’s affinity for rock music, helped him discover his love for various genres and chip away at his own style and sound. He started writing original music in high school and was soon hooked on the feeling of creating. Hungry to chase it, he packed up a U-Haul and moved to Nashville. Working construction and bartending to pay bills, he grinded his way through co-writes and dive bar gigs, developing a sound that doesn’t fit easily into a box. With sonic shades of Americana, rock, alt-pop, and indie, his lyrics brimming with candor and self-awareness, the result is uniquely Ian.
