Dhani Harrison started his musical career relatively late, switching from the automotive industry to performing following the death of his father, George Harrison, in November 2001. Initially, Dhani served as the custodian of his dad's legacy, assisting family friend Jeff Lynne in the completion of George's posthumous 2002 album, Brainwashed, but he quickly formed thenewno2 with Oliver Hecks. Harrison continued to tour and record with thenewno2 into the 2010s, easing his way into scoring film and television. He finally released IN///PARALLEL, his first solo album, in 2017, then continued to expand his film work, composing for the HBO documentary The Case Against Adnan Syed, before returning to his solo career with Innerstanding in 2023.
