“Immaculate introduction from a potent talent” – CLASH Previous support from Radio X, BBC Introducing, Apple Music, BT Sport and XS Radio Manchester. 
Having made an undeniable impact with his debut EP ‘Oxygen’ last April, which saw Harvey Jay Dodgson’s grainy vocals turn heads across national radio, TV and press, the 20-year-old alt-indie artist releases his latest single, ‘You Belong To Me’ out July 15th. 
Stripping back his earlier incarnation of cavernous, guitar-laden indie, ‘You Belong To Me’ allows Dodgson to really showcase what makes his brand of indie so unique - his whiskey soaked vocals. With just Harvey and his acoustic guitar, the track is a love story, albeit an unconventional one, as he candidly opens up about his personal journey with and love for music. With anthemic potential, ‘You Belong To Me’ is an exciting first instalment and firm foundation for Dodgson’s EP set for release later this year. 
In Harvey Jay Dodgson own words, he explains; 
“’You Belong To Me' is my ode to music. Originally written in an afternoon before a gig in an attempt to break up the set towards the end, it captivated the audience with its acoustic vibe, and its simplicity makes it very easy to sing along to. I loved how this song I wrote about my feelings towards music made people interact with music itself, and therefore I decided to record and release it for people who feel the same way. Music has been a part of my life from the very beginning, so thank you music - you belong to me.” 
In a single-take, one-shot video, the sincerity of Dodgson’s emotive narrative comes to life in its humblest form as he removes all externalities and sits alone in a field with just himself, his guitar and music - watch here. 
The year so far has seen Harvey has play The Great Escape Festival, Isle of Wight Festival and High Tide Festival, with further festival appearances lined up including 110 Above Festival, Victorious Festival and Live At Leeds. Backed by industry recognised Alex Hardee (Liam Gallagher, Sia, Clean Bandit) from Wasserman booking agency, Harvey’s appearances in the live scene are set to get bigger and bigger. 


Working on his previous EP ‘Oxygen’ with Michael Smith (Wolf Alice, Anteros) at RYP Studios, Dodgson was named BT TV and Scotts Menswear as ‘One to Watch 2021’,as well as receiving a glowing review from Clash Magazine. 
Word has been spreading on Harvey Jay Dodgson for some time now.
Picked by This Feeling to play Isle of Wight festival over the summer, a packed out tent greeted the 19 year old songwriter.
Song after song, his set felt crammed with potential anthems – a precocious display, one that echoed everyone from Sam Fender to Jake Bugg via The Smiths.
Debut single 'Caroline' is the starting point for this Portsmouth riser, and it's an immaculate introduction from a potent talent.
Biting guitar pop with a surging chorus, 'Caroline' is a neat, compact, distilled example of what makes Harvey's music so exciting.

Background Hailing from Portsmouth, Harvey Jay Dodgson started playing the guitar at the age of 7 and by 9 years of age had written his first piece of music. His early inspiration came after being introduced by older brother Neil to the music of Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday and the free- flowing vocal melodies of Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles. He says, "It instantly opened my eyes (or should I say ‘ears’) to a completely different sound of music." It was discovering the jazz-influenced artists, King Krule and Cosmo Pyke who inspired him to experiment further and he was soon ready to create his own music. 
Live Shows 
11th – 14th August - 110 Above Festival, Leicestershire 28th August - Victorious Festival, Portsmouth
