George Harrison was a British rock guitarist, singer-songwriter, and film producer. Born on February 25, 1943 in Liverpool, England, he is best known as the lead guitarist of The Beatles. In addition to his musical talents, Harrison was also an admirer of Indian culture and mysticism. He introduced this interest to the other members of The Beatles and even traveled with them to Rishikesh, India in 1968 to study meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Throughout his life, Harrison embraced the Hare Krishna tradition and became a lifelong devotee.

In recognition of his contributions to music, George Harrison was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 as a performer. He was also honored by being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) along with The Beatles in 1965. Additionally, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame posthumously in 2009.

George Harrison had two marriages during his lifetime. He was married to Pattie Boyd from January 21, 1966 until their divorce in 1977. Afterward, he married Olivia Arias on September 2, 1978 until his death. Together with Olivia Harrison, he had one son named Dhani Harrison.

Dark Horse Records was founded by George Harrison in the mid '70s, making him the first member of The Beatles to venture back into the record business in a solo capacity. While primarily home to Harrison's own recordings, Dark Horse achieved major chart success with duo Splinter and their hit 'Costafine Town' in 1974. Even after Harrison left EMI and signed to Warner Bros Records in the '80s, Dark Horse continued to thrive as his solo albums carried its logo. In early 2020, the label was relaunched by Harrison's son Dhani and manager David Zonshine through a global partnership with BMG.

Throughout its history, Dark Horse Records has been synonymous with quality music that transcends genres. From George Harrison's iconic solo work to supporting emerging artists like Splinter, the label has consistently delivered timeless music that resonates with listeners worldwide.

The legacy of Dark Horse Records continues today under the leadership of Dhani Harrison and David Zonshine. With a renewed vision and global partnership with BMG, they are committed to preserving the label's rich heritage while championing new talent from around the world. As Dark Horse embarks on this exciting new chapter, music lovers can expect nothing less than exceptional artistry and unparalleled creativity.
