Biography

Morrison pairs acoustic introspection with horn-friendly uplift on crossover singles.

Undiscovered and subsequent records balanced radio ballads with band interplay worthy of live radio sessions.

Programmers seeking male soul voices with guitar roots rotate his catalogue often.

Lossless streams preserve Hammond growl, backing choir air, and close vocal proximity.

Morrison grew up in Rugby and began performing as a teenager. Undiscovered (2006) produced You Give Me Something and Wonderful World, and the album sold strongly in the UK. His soulful, husky voice drew a wide audience.

Songs for You, Truths for Me (2008) included a duet with Nelly Furtado, Broken Strings. The Awakening (2011) and Higher Than Here (2015) followed.
