Author Information

""Definitely Maybe"" changed PJ Harrison's life. Originally from Merseyside, PJ became a huge fan of Oasis and travelled to watch their concerts throughout his teens, often arriving as early as 9am to stand in line so he could watch from at the very front. In his twenties, PJ began to work in the music industry, firstly with his own Sony JV record label (in the same group as Oasis' Creation Records) before moving into major label artist management, writing and production. PJ's world began to overlap with that of Oasis. The band took a shine to several artists he managed and took them, and PJ with them, on world tours. During this period of touring Harrison spent almost every day around the band and their crew, getting to know their management and developed friendly relationships with the band. PJ has had a diverse career in the entertainment industry, spanning music, television, sports and creative direction. In music, he has worked with world renowned artists, such as Nas and Lauryn Hill, and has served as a writer, director and host for television. With a keen interest in sports, he co-founded LA football club City of Angels as well as Block Training alongside NBA legend Steve Nash. PJ lives in London. This is his first book.
