Morrisson performing in San Francisco, July 2010

Morrisson is an American dance music, house music singer, songwriter, producer and actor. A California native based in San Francisco Bay Area, he was discovered by house music veteran DJ/Producer Julius Papp and hired to do vocal session and songwriting work for Julius' NeoDisco label releases.

Morrisson's first solo release on his own Ovation Music Recordings label, was a 131bpm, high-energy, disco-house track called "Love of My Life", which reached #15 on the Billboard Magazine Hot Dance Airplay in February 2006. It is featured on the dance mix compilation Ultra.Weekend 2. However, he eventually found his niche in deep, soulful house and has since written and produced several tracks in that sub-genre of dance music. Morrisson continues collaborations with Julius Papp, Vincent Kwok, DJ MFR, Groove Junkies, Franky Boissy, DJ Smash, Colin Sales, Dario D'Attis, Haldo, Lenny Fontana, and Thomas DeLorenzo. He has releases on various house music labels including NeoDisco (SF), Eight-Fifteen (SF), Transport Recordings (SF), Celebrity Recordings (Minn), Swank Recordings, Onethirty (Minn), Universe Media (U.K.) and Myna Recordings (U.K.). He frequently performs live in California as well as having performed around the world in such places as Playa del Carmen, Mexico; Seoul, South Korea; Singapore, Thailand; Shanghai and more. His full-length debut album "After My Love" was released in 2009.
