Sala’am Alaikum

You can try and turn off the sun
I’m still going to shine away, yeah
And tell everyone
We’re having some fun today

You can go wherever you wanna
And do whatever you like
Let’s just have a real good time

Assalamu Alaikum, Alaikum yeah (4x)

I just want to spread love and peace
And all of my happiness
To everyone that I meet
‘Cause I’m feeling spectacular

I love it when we love one another
Give thanks everyday
For this life
Living with a smile on our face

Assalamu Alaikum, Alaikum yeah

Spread peace on the earth
Cherish the love that is around us
Spread peace on the earth
Treasure the love, let it surround us

Always be kind
Always remind one another
Peace on the earth every da-a-ay

1) Assalamu Alaikum, Alaikum yeah
2) Spread peace on the earth, cherish the love —
3) I love it when we love one another, yeah–

ABOUT HARRIS J

Born in Chelsea in the heart of London, Harris J is a young British Muslim artist with Indian and Irish heritage signed to Awakening Records. At an early age, Harris’s natural talent for singing was evident. By the age of five, he began singing and performing in public, at school recitals and multi-faith gatherings. His mastery of classical Arabic recitation with tones and vocal techniques of Irish folk music create a distinctly rich blend of artistic talent.

Harris J is passionate about football. At the age of 12, Harris earned himself a place in the exclusive Elite Training Club at the Chelsea Academy, receiving expert coaching over several years at the training grounds of the Chelsea FC Premier League Side.
Having entered the social media powered Awakening Talent Contest in 2013 – in which multi platinum winning songwriter and artist Maher Zain was a judge – Harris J went on to win the competition and signed an exclusive record deal with Awakening Records.

In July 2015 Harris J graduated from the world renowned BRIT School of Performing Arts in London (alumni include Adele, Amy Winehouse and others). Harris J has performed in charity tours in the UK and at the Mandela tribute concert in South Africa. World Music Trends have identified Harris as “an artist who will take the global Islamic music scene by storm”.

Harris J considers himself a proud Muslim and a true Brit and is now looking forward to taking his new blend of faith inspired music to the world. His debut album is due to be released in late August 2015.
