From his rendition of “Unchained Melody”, to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” to his own original single, “More Than A Dream; Harrison has been setting the charts alight.

Harrison shared his story with the jury and the audience at his first stage performance of the world-known show The Voice Australia: His father abandoned the family when he was six, which compounded the vocal stutter Harrison was born with. But one thing he and his mother discovered early on is that when he sings, the stutter disappears.
