We had the good fortune of connecting with Paul Morris and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Paul, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
So i’ve heard plenty of cool quotes and affirmations over the year, One that stood out to me was a quote from my father. Paul Morris Sr. He told me to remember during my biggest trials and tribulations that “everything is happening around you and not to you.” He’s big on protection, spirituality and our ancestors. On a more simplistic level, his quote made me feel more calm knowing that most of the things that I thought would be a bad situation just made room for the good outcomes and growth.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I started in church I a Gospel Rap Group Called Gods Dynasty. Vincent Hamilton Record my first song I wrote for a girl I met in Africa during a missions trip. I flew down to Africa and hand delivered it to her. Shortly after I met Papa San and his family they gave me the opportunity to choreograph and find locations and dancers for there videos. Grammy Award winning Artist Tyshane Thompson son of International artist Papa San produced my first projects . Shortly after Mark Samuel offered an opportunity to audition for Europe Tour that turned into several over sea tours in Europe and South America. After coming home from my Europe tour I had my first child and put thing on hold to figure out fatherhood. Neri Boii encouraged me to continue to make music and i’m currently resurfacing collaborating with Mike Smiff from Slip N Slide Records, OG Kurb Signed to Issa Rae, Bertrand Boyd actor on P Valley and Queen and Slim, and many more. Im current working on a project with Neri and Make It Bang, entitled City Boy Ballads and working on Rebranding.
