Dalton Harris, the latest winner of the X Factor, is a rising young star in the UK music and performance industry and a vocal talent like no other. Born 29th of December 1993, he has defied all the odds despite facing more life adversity than most would endure in a lifetime. Dalton grew up in harsh poverty with 6 brothers and sisters and a single mother. By the time he was 14, he was already working and helping his mother provide for his younger siblings. Harris always had his eyes set on a better life, but music was the only constant thing in his life.

Dalton found himself homeless at 16 and having to fend for himself. He worked while sending himself to school and after completing college and applying for medical school, chose instead to work on cruise ships and further his experience, skill set and knowledge. “I wanted to be a full-time musician and have a career in music, more than I wanted to borrow millions to go to med school then working back half of my career to pay it back in a field that would help many but not as much and a passionately as I can and have in music. I knew music was my passion and true identity and up until then and even now, has given me everything I have/had in so many ways, so it was more than worth the risk of everything I had to sacrifice like friends – going out and socialising as a teenager – any of the normal stuff teenagers my age would do. Music is the only way I have ever been able to take care of myself, and I am not just talking financially, it has saved me from myself and the world many times, so there was never a question of a doubt in continuing this avenue” Harris said in our meeting. Winning Digicel Rising Stars and getting signed to VP Records and Penthouse Records in 2010, making history as the youngest ever to win the televised National song contest only at 16 years old, this was just the beginning of Dalton’s music career.
