Byron
Harrison has been singing at weddings and in church since the age
of 12 years old. Coming from a musical family of vocalists and musicians,
Byron discovered his music abilities at an early age while growing
up watching his dad Jesse Harrison, Jr. sing gospel music in the
80’s throughout Houston. When his cousin in Seattle noticed
him singing in the shower one day at the age of 11, he quickly booked
him to sing at a friend’s wedding.
After that, Byron sang at church
while growing up. He also sang in the gospel choir at Klein Forest
High School where he began to lead solos. While attending DePaul
University in Chicago from 1995-1999, he also sang with the DePaul
University Gospel Choir. Throughout the 90’s and the following
decade, Byron sang at countless weddings and ceremonies for family
and friends across the country and also clients.
Although Byron has a love for
singing Gospel music, he also has a love for all different genres
of music, including 80’s, hip-hop, pop, rock and artists such
as Brian McKnight, Rob Thomas, and Van Morrison. At karaoke, which
is his favorite pastime, he has even been known to sing songs by
the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Tears for Fears, James Blunt, Creed
and Ambrosia!
Byron’s other profession
is an educator where he teaches criminal justice at North Harris
Community College and also is a full-time adult education instructor
with Harris County. Byron is a man of many talents and enjoys using
all of his gifts to inspire and bring joy to people, and also to
live out his purpose everyday. |
