Curtis Harding

Wednesday Morning Atonement
Face Your Fear 2017 via Anti
a note about this track

Harding was born on June 11, 1979, in Saginaw, Michigan. His father is a mechanic, and his mother, Dorothy, is a gospel singer. He and his five siblings were raised as Mennonites.They moved to Alabama when he was three, then to Arizona, California, Texas, and other parts of the United States. His family had no permanent residence until they settled in Atlanta, Georgia, when he was 14. His mother toured in a van, stopping to sing at churches and work at homeless shelters. Though he originally wanted to play professional sports, Harding grew up around his mother's music, occasionally joining her on stage as a backing singer until age 15. His family would stay – sometimes for months – at communities with churches of any denomination. Harding's sister, an amateur rapper, introduced him to secular music.
