Details:
PJ Morton is a soul singer, songwriter, performer, and producer based in New Orleans. He is a six-time Grammy winner and twenty-two-time Grammy nominee who has earned numerous nominations for BET, Soul Train, and the NAACP Image Awards, in addition to selling out shows at historic venues like the Apollo Theater. On top of running his label, Morton Records, and serving as Maroon 5’s full-time keyboardist for the past fifteen years, he has collaborated with Erykah Badu, Jon Batiste, JoJo, Lil Wayne, Nas, Jill Scott, Stevie Wonder, and many others. Morton is also the first Black composer to write an original song for a Disney attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, now open at both Disney World and Disneyland. His latest solo album, Cape Town to Cairo, was fully created during a thirty-day trip across Africa, and in his memoir, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning (Worthy Publishing/Hachette Book Group) , Morton recounts and reflects upon a trailblazing path that continues to defy expectations. Recently, he has ventured further into the worlds of film and television — writing the closing song for Regina King’s Netflix film Shirley, producing music for Dr. Seuss’s Red Fish, Blue Fish on Netflix — as well as launching a new series of cross-genre collaborations, titled A PJ Morton Production. Morton also produces artists from hip-hop, R&B, and gospel (La Reezy, Darrel Walls, and more) at his Studio in the Country, the historic 26-acre complex in rural Bogalusa, Louisiana, where everyone from Stevie Wonder to Country Music Hall of Fame member Willie Nelson have made classic records, and which Morton is working to preserve.
