"You sing 'cause you have to sing, not 'cause you want to sing. And, I mean that in the deepest way. And, that's why it's so believable and real," the former After ending up in season 13's top ten, Harris went on to perform with other contestants on the 's live tour. He also got the chance to perform alongside Darius Rucker -- one of his musical influences -- at the Grand Ole Opry in 2014. Harris released his debut single,"In Love," in 2019.
Following news of his death, Harris was remembered by fellow Season 13 contestant, Jessica Meuse, who paid tribute to the singer in a post shared to Instagram Monday. "My heart is heavy to hear of the passing of fellow @americanidol and friend @cjharrismusic. I’m completely shocked. Your talent and smile will be missed, and the world is definitely a darker and eerily quieter place without you in it. I’ll miss your random phone calls asking for life advice and talking about the music world. When you go through something like Idol together, it brings everyone involved together like a big, weird, dysfunctional family," Meuse wrote.
