In this episode, Black Hollywood Live hosts Jessica King, Nick Perdue and Megan Thomas interview special guest Harrison Knight. Harrison Knight entered the world on April 13, 1991 in Orangeburg, SC. He shortly relocated to Kingstree, SC with his mother. During this period Harrison bean theatrical performances at his church. He demonstrated phenomenal talent at an early age. In elementary school, Karl Singletary, an artist-in-residence and a former member of the Buffalo City Ballet selected him to train as a ballet dancer. It was later suggested that he train in tap dance as well; therefore, he began tap dancing at age eight. By the end of his second year, he had advanced to the senior tap company.
Being urged to allow Harrison more opportunities to hone his performance skills, he and his mother relocated to Atlanta in 2002. He continued ballet and tap classes at Ballethnic Dance Company, where he performed in major productions, including The Urban Nutcracker and The Leopard Tale.
