Hailing from the Bay Area, Morley has been beatin' up instruments since under ten years old. Starting out on the trumpet, he was later enticed by the finer expressive potential of the electric guitar. Eventually, recognizing his love of bass (always picking 'em up in stores and dropping mad funk), he picked it up seriously a few years back. Since then, he's been seen on stage all around LA, and even in London (w/ Kaila Yu). Morley is a true professional - he believes in showing up on time, knowing his s**t and playing with conviction. He's always open and looking to apply his creative/business ideas to projects that have real potential (most importantly, good vocals!).

Testimonials:
"Morley is a top of the line musician that always interprets the song the way it was meant to be played. Fluent in his styles, he seems to adapt to multiple styles of music with confidence, which complements my music well. He is always on time, many times at the gig before anyone else. Definitely a worthwhile musician to hire if you are looking for excellence, dependability, and musical consistency." - Geoff Antonio

industry! He is completely professional and strives to push every
project hes involved with to the next level. Looking foward to working

"Morley recorded bass for my album quickly and painlessly. He is extremely
easy to work with. He has a knack for heeding direction and delivering on
both technical and stylistic levels. Morley brings the same excellent qualities to the stage. He fully
understands and is quick to utilize all facets of his gear and settings in
order to deliver the best possible live tone in any size or shape of venue.
I have recieved constant positive feedback from professionals and fans alike
about the completeness Morley's performance and tone brings to our live
sound. I am consistantly impressed by his live and studio capabilities." - Nathanael Lew (Ten Count Junky)
"I have worked with Morley for almost two years. We have recorded and performed together on a number of my projects. His grasp of concepts and feel is excellent and nearly immediate. He takes compliments and criticism with equal temperament. His stage presence is electric and expressive, and whether working with him in the studio, at a rehearsal, or at a performance he delivers his best, always. Although I'd fight with anybody to keep him around, I would definitely recommend he and his ax to all." - Mateo Denali
