At Apogee's Berkeley Street Studio in Santa Monica, Dhani Harrison
brushes his lanky black hair back from his cheeks and reinserts his
orange in-ear monitors. The only child of George Harrison, he's also
lead singer and ringleader for a group called thenewno2, who now gear up
for the second half of a set they're taping for KCRW.
"I'm going back into my own little world now," he says to the small,
invite-only audience with a shy smile. "See you later." Then he straps
on a guitar, triggers one of his samplers, and the band launches into
"Make It Home" off of the group's recently released second album, thefearofmissingout.
Growing up at Friar Park, his father's massive estate in
Henley-on-Thames, England, he would spend hours alone in his room,
cranking his favorite music: Zeppelin, Hendrix, AC/DC, Iron Maiden,
Wu-Tang and Public Enemy. "I never really saw my dad around when the
Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing," Harrison says now, alluding to
the fact that George didn't always approve of his son's playlist. "But
he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of
left me to my own devices."
