Curtis Harding (born June 11, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter. In performances, his vocals lead soul music fused with such influences as gospel music, blues, and rock, and psychedelia. The offspring of a mother who sang gospel, and a retired veteran, he traveled all over the country as a child, singing alongside his parents, learning that music was in fact the great communicator, and that the key was not just in how pretty the notes were, but how if you were honest in what you were singing, you could stir a person on the inside.
