Harry Hudson - "Fearless Ones" Mini-Doc

At twenty-five years old, Harry Hudson speaks with an elevated consciousness; his understandings of people and the need for personal connection are integral to his identity as an artist. Believing in its power to unify and heal, he creates music not only for himself but for others. The people that listen to his hard-to-categorize music are not just his fans—they are equals, and for Hudson, they become family.

For our next Installment of “The Fearless Ones,” a series co-created with New Balance to highlight artists who are challenging the status quo and fearlessly true to themselves, we showcase how Hudson defies the trends while defining himself. In the same way, New Balance has been unequivocally independent since its conception; they’ve never wanted to be anything other than themselves. As Hudson finds his footing as a growing artist, he speaks his truth, unafraid to address the stigma of depression and the importance of mental health, shedding traditional standards of masculinity in a market that promotes it. In his candor about his depression, what Hudson ultimately does is subvert the definitions of strength and fearlessness: in this world, it takes immense strength to be open, kind, and vulnerable. From him we can all take a cue.
