Kree Annette Harrison was born on May 17, 1990.Named after the actress Cree Summer, she was raised in Woodville,Texas. She has been performing since she was three years old. At the age of eight, Harrison was chosen to perform on The Rosie O'Donnell Show's "Most Talented Kids" episode. She appeared as a guest on the show four times by the time she was 12.
The experience found Harrison developing relationships with management companies and record labels. She signed a record deal with Lyric Street Records when she was ten, but disagreed with their vision for her."They very quickly started talking about a Disney sitcom to launch a pop singing career for me. Suddenly I was singing music that wasn't the sound I wanted to make, which was traditional country."As her first brush with career confusion set in, Harrison received the tragic news that her father had been killed in a plane crash. She was only 12 when her father died. The experience led Harrison to return home to Texas and put her music career on hold.
At age 13, Harrison returned to Nashville with her sister. Trey Bruce signed her to a publishing deal with Chrysalis Records at 16 and began to work on an album. Then, at 19, she was once again hit with the bad news that her mother had been killed in a car accident. Harrison's deal with Chrysalis eventually fell through. Prior to Idol, Harrison worked as a demo singer.She also sang backup vocals on Kacey Musgraves' album, Same Trailer Different Park, and Eli Young Band's album, Life at Best.
Harrison was friends with platinum selling country singer Mindy McCready. Mindy invited Kree up to sing with her at a 2011 CMA performance in Nashville. In previous years when Kree was trying to get her start in Nashville, Mindy paid for Kree's dental work to fix her smile.
Harrison auditioned in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
