Ken Morris Bio

Ken Morris is an original recording artist, songwriter, musician and electrifying entertainer. He began in the rock clubs of New York City, performing in Maxâs Kansas City, The Peppermint Lounge, Kennyâs CastAwaysâs, CBGBâs and other legendary clubs. He even performed in the infamous Studio 54.
Ken has had many legendary musicians perform in his back up bands throughout the years, including Steve Marriot from Humble Pie, Lester Chambers from the Chamberâs brothers, (who also guestâs on his new album, âHeavenly Bound and No Earthly Goodâ), Corky Lange, (drummer for Mountain), with Lesley West, amongst others. Ken has toured the western world three times. He had the distinct privilege of performing for the Royal family of Sweden, in their Stockholm castle, on his visits there.
At the age of 22, Ken was closing a show for the famed Billy Preston, when a New York management team caught his performance, and three months later, was headlining in Las Vegas with a show he wrote, arranged and produced, and was given his first recording contract.
Shortly after winning his class in the IFBB Mr. USA in bodybuilding, (he also holds high degrees as a black belt in four styles of martial arts), he met Rod Steward through his friendship with then manager of Elton John. Ken was a guest at Rodâs Madison Square Garden performance that night and shortly after, he decided to make his hobby of writing music as a serious profession. His only goal at the time was to win the Mr. America and open a gym/karate studio. After Rod Steward heard him play some of his songs in the hotel room after the show, Rod encouraged Ken to pursue a career in music.â He gave me some great advice. He said, âRecruit the best musicians possible, sing with all your heart, and try to stay on key. He also said, âDonât hire musicians....hire personalities that can play well.â Ken has followed that advice ever since and it has served him well.
Having lived for most his life between Los Angeles, New York and London, Ken now resides in Palm Coast and records in Orlando with his long time friend and studio owner David Mikeals.
â We make a great team recording. David really knows my abilities and except for guest musicians for special parts, we play and sing everything on my albums. Itâs just a great friendship and chemistry. Itâs a labor of love and I respect Daveâs talents immensely. He is probably the most versatile, multi-talented musician Iâve ever known.â Ken is always quick to give credit where credit is due. â In this business, itâs not just about me and my songs, but the entire team I have that makes it all happen in good fashion.â Kenâs company, Manitou Music Productions, LLC, also writes for and produces other artists for major labels.
National air play will begin on Kenâs new album in few weeks. He plans do due several concert dates in his new home state of Florida, before hitting the road. His new album is a mix of roots country rock, rockabilly, beautiful, lush ballads, and even some very sophisticated jazz as well.
