Aitch Bio & Journey

Harrison James Armstrong (born December 9, 1999) was born in Moston, Manchester, England. He is a British rapper. He is professionally known as Aitch. His journey to stardom began in 2015 when a YouTube video of him freestyling with friends gained local popularity. Initially hesitant about its release, Aitch changed his mind when the video amassed 10,000 views.

Aitch's breakthrough on the music scene came in 2018 with the release of his track "Straight Rhymez," which catapulted him to national attention. This achievement set the stage for his subsequent accomplishments. In August 2019, he dropped "Taste (Make It Shake)," which quickly became his biggest hit at the time, peaking at number eight on the UK Singles Chart. The following month, he released his second EP, titled AitcH2O, which reached an impressive number three on the UK Albums Chart.

Continuing his upward trajectory, Aitch collaborated with AJ Tracey and Tay Keith on the track "Rain" in March 2020, securing a spot at number three on the UK Singles Chart. In May of the same year, he unveiled his third EP, titled "Polaris." Aitch's commitment to his craft remained unwavering, and in June 2021, he released the single "Learning Curve," followed by "Party Round My Place" in September.
