C.T. Harrison was born in the city that never sleeps “Las
Vegas, Nevada, on February 22, 1971. C.T. was born with a
creative and burning force, which remained dormant during
the first 11 months of his life, while he was being moved from
one foster home of isolation and illness to another. Finally,
two wonderful people, Bruce and Rosemary Harrison chose
to adopt C.T. and give him a real home on a small farm
outside of Roswell, New Mexico, where he grew up.
C.T.'s mother often suggested that because he spent the
first part of his life stuck in playpens with no connection to the
foster families that cared for him “ his soul awakened
bursting with wild adventure and vitality. That energy grew
quickly within him, eventually sparking his interest in music at
the early age of 8 years old. C.T. began to teach himself to
play guitar with an old Gibson Les Paul copy that his sister
left behind in her closet, when she left home.
C.T.'s passion for music increasingly grew as his musical
attentions then shifted to the drums. When his parents
recognized his enthusiasm toward music, especially the
drums “ they purchased his first drum set and signed him up
for music lessons, which he continued throughout
all of his school years. When C.T. finished school, he joined
the workforce, trying out a variety of jobs along the way.
However, all roads seemed to always lead back to music.
No matter where he was or what he was doing, he was
always listening to his music favorites, studying their
individual styles and using those examples to develop his
own unique style of music.

Artists like Johnny Cash left an indelible impact upon C.T., with his outlaw attitude toward life and music, inspiring C.T. to set his own
tone, be a leader and pursue his dreams with unyielding determination. C.T.'s songs were also heavily influenced with subtle traces of
music greats like Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Gary Allen, Pat Green and C.T.'s idol Chris LeDoux.
C.T. truly enjoyed recording the five songs that went into his CD, Waiting For The Other Heart To Fall. This was C.T.'s opportunity to
really bring himself into his music and share a little bit of his heart with the rest of the world. As the holidays approached, C.T. recorded
C.T.'s Country Christmas. This was a fun way to encourage holiday spirit and sing some of his favorite Christmas songs.
Although C.T. began his musical journey traveling along a more traditional route through the music industry, he learned through a
chronicle of professional inconsistencies, the importance of being true to himself and following his own path. Perhaps this is why C.T.
appreciates the life of an independent artist even more, with a deeper understanding of what it takes to cultivate his own career.
C.T.'s music really captures the essence of his life's experiences, as well as his genuine and down-to-earth personality. He has faced
his fair share of personal and professional hardship and challenge, which earned him the title of American Outlaw, also the name of his
most recent CD. However, because of his honest approach to life and music, operating solely from a point of integrity, he has also
earned the deep affection and respect of his fans and friends. Despite his apparent tough exterior that he often displayed to others for
the purpose of self-preservation, "beneath those layers is a man with a gentle spirit and a loving heart."
Of course C.T. is working toward a successful music career but he also wants to take his gift to the next level by giving back. He
wants to use his music as a tool to positivly influence, motivate, inspire and pave the way for aspiring independent artists everywhere.
