The resurgence of live musical instrumentation with hip hop elements of street expression are the essence and foundation of the Morris Rentie, Jr. sound. Funky bass lines, hardcore drum beats, and melodic vocals layered over aggressive, but passionate chordal progressions are the components of his creative musical force.
Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 3, he discovered a love and passion for music when he received his first Guitar as a Christmas gift. Since that time, Rentie has mastered the Bass, Guitar, Piano, Sax and Drums. As a Bass player, he has the technique of Stanley Clark, the skill of Jaco Pastorius, the aggression of Larry Graham and the funk of Bootsy Collins. By combining his demanding and commanding style of musicianship with his God-gifted abilities of song writing, arranging, and producing, Renties sound is a phenomenon in Urban Music.
He has worked in different capacities (writer, producer, co-producer, musician and advisor) with many artists and all major record labels. Rentie is currently completing three new albums, producing several new artists. Additionally he owns and operates Innocent Records LLC as well as the Omnipotent Entertainment Group, which specializes in music production, direction and supervision; film scoring, editing; engineering; and all aspects of audio and visual entertainment.
Morris Renties knowledge of music and the recording industry give him a competitive advantage in what can be a very ruthless business. Because of his experience and musical genius, he is able to work with some of the most talented artists while continuing to create music that appeals to the youthful and the wise. Rentie is totally committed to giving quality music to the fans of R&B, jazz, soul, pop, inspirational/contemporary gospel, and hip hop without forsaking innovative creativity.
