Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Ian Harrison was influenced by country and folk music, which shaped his unique sound and songwriting style. At 18, he began his songwriting journey while attending college, until he got the chance to compete on NBC’s The Voice, which premiered in 2022. Since then, Ian has been in Nashville, writing songs and honing his craft.
