'''Devonne Andre Harris''', more commonly known by his stage name '''DJ Harrison,''' is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer from [Richmond, Virginia](/source/Richmond%2C_Virginia).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://richmondmagazine.com/news/flip-to-the-back-devonne-harris/|title=Flip to the Back: Devonne Harris|work=Richmond Magazine|date=28 June 2017 |access-date=November 27, 2021}}</ref>

== Early life ==
The son of a radio deejay, Harris was born in Petersburg and grew up in Chesterfield County. Harris was interested in music at a young age. After playing with a kids drum set for years, his mother got him a professional drum set when he was seven, then a keyboard, and finally a bass when he was twelve. Harris lived in a house full of records as both his parents were music lovers. He developed a fascination with the way vinyl records were made from immersing himself in his parents' collection.

He joined the Thomas Dale High School marching band before graduating from [Virginia Commonwealth University](/source/Virginia_Commonwealth_University)'s jazz studies program <ref>{{cite web|url=https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/dj-harrison-hazymoods-interview|title=DJ Harrison Draws on '70s Funk & Soul to Build Vibrant Beat Masterpieces|work=[Bandcamp](/source/Bandcamp)|first=Eamon|last=Whalen|date=27 June 2017 |access-date=November 27, 2021}}</ref> where he picked up a scientific approach to songwriting by building his songs methodically through researching and experimenting with new sounds.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.news.vcu.edu/article/A_VCU_alums_scientific_approach_to_music|title=A VCU alum's scientific approach to music|work=VCU News|first=Richard|last=DiCicco|access-date=November 27, 2021}}</ref>
