Morrison’s talents were recognized early on while growing up in his family church. He developed quickly as a result of having a musical family. He later graduated from Morgan Park High School where he was acknowledged for his Leadership skills and participation in many of Chicago’s most notable Jazz programs such as CYSO, Jazz institute of Chicago’s Jazz Ambassadors, Ravinia Jazz Scholars, and Gallery 37. Morrison then attended the University of Louisville where he studied Jazz Performance with an emphasis in Jazz Drums. Eager to reconnect with friends and family, Morrison returned home in the summer of 2021 after completing two years at the University. Since then, Morrison has worked with many top tier musicians by the likes of Wadada Leo Smith, Ernest Dawkins, Mario Abney, Micah Collier, Dee Alexander, and many more.
