Dhani Harrison

Overview

Dhani Harrison was born on August 1, 1978 in Windsor, Berkshire, England, UK. He is a composer and producer, known for Beautiful Creatures (2013), Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019) and Cut Throat City (2020). He was previously married to Sólveig Káradóttir.

Son of George Harrison and Olivia Harrison.
He and Jeff Lynne worked extensively with his father, George Harrison, on George's final studio album. Knowing he was dying of cancer, George made sure to not only complete as much work as he could, but also used the time he had to make sure that Dhani and Jeff knew his intentions for the material (down to such details as the cover artwork). Thus, although George died with the album not quite complete, Dhani and Jeff were able to finish the songs according to George's wishes, even using studio time that George had booked ahead of time. The album, "Brainwashed", was released in 2002, almost a year after George's death.
Is of English and Irish descent on his father's side, and Mexican descent on his mother's side.
Grandson of Louise Harrison and Harold Harrison.
Nephew of Peter Harrison, Harry Harrison and Louise Harrison.

I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.
You don't have to burn books, you don't have to rebel against teachers to rebel; to rebel is to truly own your own self.
If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.
My job description is... being enthusiastic.
I could never just play in a pub in front of four people because I would have had all the press turn up. That way, you don't get to build up naturally. It makes the work feel unnatural, and puts a lot of unnatural pressure on you.
