Singer-composer and producer, Morley weaves the threads of jazz, soul, and folk traditions into a singular tapestry of vocal and acoustic splendor — the sound wave of a life lived with uncommon devotion to human rights and environmental justice. Raised in vibrantly multicultural Jamaica, Queens, and educated at the United Nations School, Duke Ellington High School for the Performing Arts and Alvin Ailey, Morley has released eight albums of original songs via Sony, Universal and Independently. Her music appears on network television, commercials, human rights documentaries and Democracy Now. Morley spearheaded the release of Borderless Lullabies, an ongoing benefit album for K-I-N-D (Kids In Need Of Defense) featuring: Yo-Yo Ma, Maria Popova, Jaqueline Woodson, Meryl Streep, Toshi Reagon and more. Follow the Sound (2025) Morley’s eighth album, co-produced with Chris Bruce (GRAMMY® Meshell Ndegeocello’s No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin) is a globally minded, jazz-influenced offering. In March of ’26, Morley produced and created sound design for Cameron Russell & Mei Tao’s: The Art Of Care installation at Proyecto Público, Mexico City and performed as well as created the music for choreographer, Coco Karol at Every Woman Biennial: Brick X Brick. As a lyricist, Morley contributes to artists such as William Parker, Youn Sun Nah, Lizz Wright, Richard Bona and Yuri Buenaventura. Currently Morley is completing Meditations On The Gift of Awe:: love songs for earth & survival, with contributions from: Chris Bruce, Toshi Reagon, Trina & Arun Ramamurthy, Meshell Ndegeocello, Justin Hicks, Kenita Miller, Hanna Benn, Abe Rounds & Levon Henry. “Morley’s voice is necessary to the cosmos. It comes from mourning doves who don’t mourn but spread such joy and calm that she leaves your body in gentle shock, we are so unused to this!” – hilton als
