NedHarris

Born in Albany, Georgia and residing in Suffolk, Virginia, Ned Harris began singing at the age of 5, joined his church choir at the age of 11, and began performing with his community theater before he was old enough to vote or drink legally.

Influenced by the Motown music that his parents kept in rotation during car rides around Albany, Ned fell in love with the era, and is still influenced by the Motown sound to this day.

As a member of Kustom Made and the 1960s quartet group The Unifics, and with his own group, Ned Harris & The Appeal, Ned prides himself in sticking to the foundation of what the forefathers of R&B and Soul music have built over the years. With every track that he puts his name on, Ned makes a conscious effort to create quality music that is inspired by greats like Prince, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye.

Ned has performed at the Hampton Jazz Festival and the Virginia Beach FunkFest and has opened up for legendary acts like: Zapp, Dennis Edwards, George Clinton, Angela Winbush, The Brides of Funkenstein, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Fantasia, Gregory Porter, Jazmine Sullivan, and Charlie Wilson, just to name a few. He released his first solo album Gallery of Life on April 29, 2023.
