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.

More quotes by Dhani Harrison
I don't ever use my name for anything in terms of getting the music heard.
Dhani Harrison
I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.
Dhani Harrison
Someone recently played me 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' by Das Racist. That should be my theme song.
Dhani Harrison
One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool.
Dhani Harrison
Live a Lie' is inspired by recent combinations found in dubstep.
Dhani Harrison
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.

My dad was my hero, my best friend.
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
I sometimes listen to music I made and find it to be something I wouldn't want to buy from a store, if there was a store. When it's like that, you have to make what you want to hear.
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 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.
Dhani Harrison
I did the first backwards guitar solo on ‘I’m Only Sleeping’
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 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
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
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
My job description is... being enthusiastic.
Dhani Harrison
I did everything I could to not be a musician.
Dhani Harrison
My dad used to say to me, 'You look more like me than I do.'
Dhani Harrison
You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.
