American Idol star CJ Harris, 31, died suddenly after an ‘obvious heart attack’. Even as a cardiologist, I’m old enough to remember when people in their 20s and 30s didn’t often die from heart attacks. Maybe those who focus on covid deaths should focus on sudden deaths! pic.twitter.com/PLkvI1teB1

CJ Harris’s singing career began when he auditioned for American Idol for the second time.
CJ Harris was born in Jasper, Alabama on January 28, 1991. He auditioned for American Idol 2010 as a self-taught singer, but failed his first try. He then applied for X-Factor and The Voice, but was turned down. Harris auditioned for American Idol a second time in 2014. This time he succeeded by appearing on the show multiple times after being shortlisted for 13 finalists. In an interview after reaching the final, Harris talked about his previous failures and commented on his achievement. He declared:
“I auditioned for X-Factor, but I didn’t make it through the first round. I tried on The Voice but didn’t pass, it was disappointing. It really was. I went home and That’s when I decided to stop performing in bars. I had to calm down and figure out who I was.”
During the conversation, the singer also talked about how he had the opportunity to audition for American Idol and took advantage of it. CJ was approved by the jury because he was among the “top 6 contenders” at the age of 23. Harris is said to know how to play the piano and was inspired by Usher and Keith Sweat. In Love, his first and only song, was released in 2019. However, CJ’s future ambitions remain unknown after his untimely death. CJ Harris’ marital status or relationship was still unknown to the public at the time of his death as the artist has never revealed it on any platform. Although he had previously shared photos with his two children on Instagram, so far nothing has been proven.
