Lydia Harris, "When you're young you very often don’t know which way you’ll be led in life…I fell in love and my loyalty to my husband and my faith in GOD led me to where I am today.” - Lydia Harris A veteran player in the music industry for Lydia Evette Harris is known not only as a seasoned businesswoman but more notably the "Lady Boss" of the hip hop industry. In establishing her poignant career as a record label CEO several years ago, the Houston Texas native went on to achieve notable success as the co-owner of Death Row Records, in addition to her current production companies Keeping the Dream Alive Productions (K.D.A.) and Dream On Productions (D.O.P.). The latter two companies are responsible for the release of the 2002 docudrama Welcome To Death Row, and for the forthcoming biography entitled Married To The Game. Her journey began in 1985 when the then starry-eyed Harris was in pursuit of a career as a singer. A chance meeting in a Houston Texas nightclub was the quantum leap that inevitably changed her life forever. It was here that she met her husband, the notorious Michael “Harry-O” Harris a drug dealer turned entrepreneur whose story reigned through the streets of Los Angeles like an urban legend. Their meeting led to their marriage and her subsequent involvement in the music industry. After his incarceration, Harris boldly stepped into her husband’s shoes as the co-founder of Death Row Records, where she became responsible for nurturing the careers of artists such as Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Battlecat, Dana Dane and a host of others. While under the tutelage of her imprisoned husband, Harris’s life soon became one infused with legal battles, business dealings in the music industry, crime, and deceit, all while she struggled to maintain dignity, loyalty and integrity in a business where such commodities seldom exist. Never once realizing that she’d be faced with streetwise, hardcore gangsters, Harris’s life was soon caught up in a mélange of circumstances spawned by her marriage.
