More quotes by Dhani Harrison
I don't ever use my name for anything in terms of getting the music heard.
Dhani Harrison
My job description is... being enthusiastic.
Dhani Harrison
My dad was my hero, my best friend.
Dhani Harrison
I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.
Dhani Harrison
To come out in the music business, you only really get one shot. A lot of people get to play small gigs first, and build up that way, without anyone really seeing them.
Dhani Harrison
The music I want to hear in my head sounds somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Massive Attack. It's not really like my dad, but there will always be similarities because we have the same vocal cords, and I learnt the guitar the way he taught me.
Dhani Harrison
Playing music has always felt very natural. You know, you do try to do other things, and you do learn lessons that way, but, eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber, you become a plumber. It's the family business, and I felt like I was taking over the family business.
Dhani Harrison
I've grown up around cinema. Michael Kamen was a very, very close friend of mine, sort of my godfather. So I know how much work goes into it. You have to know what you're doing.
Dhani Harrison
Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.
Dhani Harrison
I was always brutally teased for being George Harrison's son. That was from the age of about four or five, before I even knew who he was. And for seven years people would follow me about school singing 'Yellow Submarine.' I still can't listen to that song to this day.
Dhani Harrison
I went to university (Brown), I worked as a designer, I competed in Olympic sport (rowing) ... and I ended up being a musician. It's in the DNA, I guess.
Dhani Harrison
Once I started to get older, my father would say, 'You look more like George Harrison than I do'
Dhani Harrison
Live a Lie' is inspired by recent combinations found in dubstep.
Dhani Harrison
Im still getting used to being called a composer. A poseur, maybe.
Dhani Harrison
I came home one day from school after being chased by kids singing “Yellow Submarine”, and I didn't understand why. It just seemed surreal: why are they singing that song to me? I came home and I freaked out on my dad: 'Why didn't you tell me you were in The Beatles?' And he said, 'Oh, sorry. Probably should have told you that.'
Dhani Harrison
I love getting into a studio with a bunch of friends. When the day's done, we've made something. We recognize that we're from different walks of the music industry, and there's no reason we shouldn't be collaborating. That's what I'm trying to create with thenewno2 - a sense of community.
Dhani Harrison
When my dad toured in '91, I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome, 50,000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12, or 13.
Dhani Harrison
Someone recently played me 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' by Das Racist. That should be my theme song.
Dhani Harrison
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.
Dhani Harrison
My dad used to say to me, 'You look more like me than I do.'
