Beyond his celebrated interpretations of standards, Harris is a powerful storyteller through song. His original works include Cross That River, an award-winning musical about the untold story of Black Cowboys in the American West, and Kate’s Soulfood, a heartfelt tribute to his late aunt’s Harlem restaurant and the spirit of a community that shaped him.
Acclaimed DJ and tastemaker Gilles Peterson, writing for The Atlantic, called him “one of today’s most talented jazz performers to watch in the U.S. and Europe,” affirming Harris’s global appeal.
