Who was CJ Harris?
American singer Curtis “CJ” Harris, who was from Jasper, Alabama, was the sixth-place finisher in the thirteenth season of American Idol.
His debut single, “In Love,” was released in 2019. Harris, who was raised in Jasper, Alabama worked for his grandfather during the summers, whom he regards as a mentor.
At the age of eight, he began studying the guitar on a damaged instrument with only three strings that his grandfather had given to him.

Usher, Keith Sweat, and Darius Rucker were among his earliest musical influences. He has also named Ray LaMontagne, The Allman Brothers Band, John Legend, John Mayer, and Keith Urban as some of his favorite musicians.
The brilliant vocalist gained notoriety after impressing the judges during his 2014 American Idol audition with a stirring performance of the Allman Brothers Band’s Soulshine.
CJ stunned America with strong renditions of “Too Close,” “American Woman,” and “Free Fallin'” after his fantastic audition.
He was kept in the competition after not obtaining enough votes in the semi-finals and advanced to the top 6 before being eliminated by the judges as a wild card.
After “Idol,” CJ played at The Grand Ole Opry with Darius Rucker, who, according to CJ, had a significant influence on his style. He even performed for spectators on the season 13 tour of the competition show.

I am so sad to hear that former American Idol contestant and Jasper native CJ Harris has died. C J made it to the Top 6 on Idol in 2014. He was a sweet and gracious guest on Good Day Alabama. TMZ is reporting he died of a heart attack. He was 32 years old. Prayers this morning for C J’s family.

My heart is heavy to hear of the passing of fellow American Idol and friend CJ Harris. I’m completely shocked. Your talent and smile will be missed, and the world is definitely a darker and eerily quieter place without you in it. I’ll miss your random phone calls asking for life advice and talking about the music world. When you go through something like Idol together, it brings everyone involved together like a big, weird, dysfunctional family. I’m grateful that our paths crossed and that I can say you were (and always will be) a part of mine. There are a lot of things I realize I will never understand — you leave us so soon is one of those things. Rest easy, friend. See you on the other side.
