About DJ Harrison
Artist Biography
Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and singer Devonne Harris, a member of Butcher Brown, records dusty funk and jazz under the name DJ Harrison. The native Virginian has displayed an encyclopedic and evolving grasp of several decades' worth of Black music, translating his knowledge into the present with progressive ingenuity. Harris made his album debut as DJ Harrison with Monotones (2013), a set of instrumentals resembling a loose Soulquarians session. Track titles such as "Erykah's Gun" and "Dilla's Eclair" put Harris' inspirations in greater relief on the smoother Stashboxxx (2014). Slyish (2016) paid a purposefully blurred tribute to Sly Stone. Harris has since issued HazyMoods (2017), Tales from the Old Dominion (2021), and Shades of Yesterday (2024) for Stones Throw, and has teamed with Nigel Hall for The Burning Bush: A Journey Through the Music of Earth, Wind & Fire (also 2024).
