As an indigene of the restive region, Harrysong has denounced the violence in the area and espouses the belief that other mediums, including music, can be used to bring the grievances of the combatants to the fore.

He is proud of his humble roots and has not let his patchy formal education hold him back. The loss of his mother before he could finish his secondary school education -coupled with a strained relationship with his father and step-mother – saw him hit the streets early do to what he knows how to do best; music. He had already represented his school at various competitions and had always excelled.

Despite leaving school early, he expresses himself smoothly and with clarity; and articulates his points with idioms and biblical allusions.

At the turn of the century, Harrysong returned to Warri from Port-Harcourt and became a student of classical music at a religious organisation. In 2007, he moved to Lagos.
