ME! which is a mixture of all my influences that came before me...
PJ Morton, a native of New Orleans, LA, most often describes his music as feel good music that lyrically tells stories about life and love music that makes your heart think. He coins his style of music, soulful pop. This 25-year old musical prodigy is indubitably a true seasoned musician who has garnered a reputation for writing and producing warm, heart-felt, and infectious songs that engage the heart. His humble, yet aggressive spirit, along with his prolific musical talents has afforded him with many opportunities to fall comfortably into the music industry. With PJ's background in music, it is no wonder that he has found himself right at home in the music business. Coming from a musical background, PJ got his start singing in the church. He began to play the piano at the age of eight years old and by the age of 14, he was already writing and producing. His dream of becoming an artist began to take shape while he was in high school. PJ's hard work and dedication to his craft is gaining him national and international notoriety in the music industry. PJ is a Grammy-award winning writer and producer who can be cited for writing and producing for a wide array of artists. His creative prowess allows him to cross all genres of music. He has worked with a range of noteworthy artists from India.Arie to gospel superstar Fred Hammond. He recently teamed up with super producer Jermaine Dupri to co-write for such platinum artists as Jagged Edge, Monica, Heather Headley and LL Cool J.
Having influences that range from Stevie Wonder to James Taylor, PJ reminisces on his childhood. "When I was younger, my mother would put on the Beatles and explain the songs it made me focus on the writers. Ive never been drawn to one style of music; its always been about the songwriters. Thats why Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Sting and James Taylor touched me so because of the songs." Because of the uniqueness of PJs music, one cannot place him in one specific category. He says it best by stating, "Whatever genre you can stick Stevie Wonder or Sting in .Ill take that!" He has the necessary ingredients it takes to break new ground; to be a trailblazer! Without so much as a second thought, he will raise the bar in the industry! If one had to use one word to describe him, it would be FREE, because he does not worry about much. In his own words, PJ sums it up, "I just keep moving, because I know that its not my fight anyway. So, I just do what I do and let God do the rest!!!"

Hey just wanted to tell you I enjoyed ur show @ the double door in chicago last night. Thats real music man. It touched me. I will picking up ur book and albums and waiting on that new one in Feb! God bless!
HeyPJ, I just finished reading your book. I really enjoyed it. I saw an interview several years ago that Aretha Franklin did and and she addressed some of the same points you addressed in your book. As you know her father was a minister and she faced lots of criticism when she began singing secular music. I have a few friends who are in bands with a religious upbringing who struggle with this issue. Your book has some great points in it, and I think will make an excellent gift for them. Great Job!
Hey man, I just wanted to say thanks for the add. I just got introduced to your music last year and I just want to say that I haven't heard real music like this before. Thanks for bringing it back and showing us that there are still real artists out there. You are a true inspiration and a great role model for me. I just started playing the keys for a few months and your music is the reason why.
It's been such a long time since I've been on your page! I saw that "This Feeling" was uploaded and I thought maybe you had a NEW song with an old song's title! Needless to say, I made haste to your page to see what I was missing! LOL! Hope all is well in your world! :-)
