putting together his second album,
exploring new sounds to incorporate.
If you listen to some of his
latest tracks on his MySpace page,
you can hear some rock elements
blended with his trademark House
beats. “Like Grace Jones said,”
Quentin comments, “give them
what they’re not expecting.”
Harris is also exploring the art of
songwriting—the one area he has
yet to conquer. He’d like to write
his own material so that this next
album can be a bit more personal.
“I feel like I have a lot to say,” he
says. “I can make you a fierce track,
I can give you a fierce remix, I can
produce you a fierce song, but I
don’t write songs.” Not yet; Harris’
drive and musical talent will likely
produce some future dance classics.

POWER.
PASSION.
PURPOSE.
Although only in his 30s, in some
ways Quentin Harris is an old soul.
His music, though fresh and new,
harkens back to the classic House
sounds of the past. This is certainly
just the beginning of a very long
journey for this prodigy; Quentin
Harris is sure to make beautiful
music for years to come. We should
consider ourselves lucky, for his
music brings not only him, but all
of us, joy.

and discography on his website

some of his tracks on his MySpace
page at myspace.com/quentinharris.
