Lexus Display - South Hall

As his celebrated 2015 live album Live Show Killer suggests, PJ Morton’s heart is onstage. In fact, the indie R&B darling and Maroon 5 keyboardist/vocalist owes his loyal following as much to his electrifying shows as to his popular albums. Influenced by acts ranging from the Beatles and James Taylor to Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, the New Orleans native is the son of gospel singer Paul S. Morton. His formal foray into the industry was as a member of the band Freestyle Nation, which debuted in the early 2000s. But it was as a songwriter/producer that Morton left his first indelible impression. He won a Grammy Award for his songwriting/production of India.Arie’s “Interested” from her 2002 album, “Voyage to India”. He has worked with an array of artists, including Jermaine Dupri, LL Cool J, Monica, Musiq Soulchild, and Trinitee 5:7. His work with gospel singer DeWayne Woods not only earned him Dove and Stellar Awards, but the distinct honor of seeing his production of Woods’ “Let Go, Let God” earn them a record 70-weeks on the gospel music charts. In November 2015, he relocated home to Louisiana to jumpstart his latest venture, Morton Records.
