Quentin Harrison

Quentin Harrison’s journey into pop music commentary started off innocently enough. Harrison joined the ranks of the Dayton City Paper in late 2006; he remained there until April 2010 as a staffed music writer with a review range that was voracious.

During his second year at the Dayton City Paper, Harrison began his trek into the realm of online music writing with The QH Blend. Thoseinitial years were noted more for their enthusiasm than form, but Harrison was a fast study in honing his editing skills.

Said skills sharpened his Internet presence, drawing the attention of Big Break Records in late 2011―a subsidiary of the Cherry Red Records imprint. Harrison’s career phase as a liner notes essayist had begun. He completed four projects for the label: Thelma Jones (1), Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam w/ Full Force (1) & André Cymone (2). Additional reissue assignments through Gold Legion Records (2012) and Soul Music Records (2013) followed.

In 2013, preceding his relocation from Dayton, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia, Harrison relaunched The QH Blend on the WordPress platform. His profile increased considerably through the relaunch and allowed him professional access to PopMatters and Blogcritics in 2014. Harrison has now become a regularly featured freelance voice for Blogcritics.

Currently, Harrison is pursuing his higher education goals and will be independently publishing his first book,‘Record Redux: Spice Girls’, in July 2016.

Throughout his nine years of pop critique, Quentin Harrison has maintained his commitment to equalizing the commentary field for music in need of critical dissemination.
