Scott Morris looks to take his passion for artistry and event planning to different levels

Published

on

As he ate his morning breakfast and flipped through TV channels, Scott Morris was unprepared for the revelation he would soon experience. As the Backstreet Boys sent shockwaves through his ears and eyes, he was captivated by their performance and the love the group received from fans in the crowd. Scott was immediately drawn to the limelight, yearning to become a huge asset to the entertainment business. Growing up in church and witnessing his father’s love for reggae music also had a large impact on him during his childhood.

Scott recalls listening to “Many Men” by 50 cent in the 5th grade. This was his initial introduction to hip hop. It wasn’t until high school, however, that hip hop took over his life. Listening to 50 Cent, Drake, and Lil Wayne was part of his daily routine in addition to religiously watching the famous “106 & Park”. As Scott’s passion for music grew so did his curiosity about the business aspect of the industry. The future mogul went on to attend John Jay College in New York where he became a member of the campus activities board. Scott became the leader of the pack, responsible for organizing special events such as, parties and shows.

It was after Scott had the opportunity to host a talent show with the radio club that Marlon Daniels reached out to him interested in teaching him the ropes. Teaming up with Marlon proved to be a great move as Scott learned how to book talent and organize fashion shows. Scott’s wheels began to turn as he knew there was more in store for him. As he developed the
blueprint for “The Deans List Tour”, over 250 people signed up to audition. The first year of the tour was an amazing success and put Scott on the map as the go-to resource for artists. The second year pulled in over 400 people to audition. The tour consisted of 16 colleges and three high schools such as, Ohio University, UConn, NYU, StonyBrook, and Howard University, to name a few. After year 3, Scott had built relationships, not only with artists far and wide, but also industry executives. It was clear that he had an eye for talent and had the ability to form a core team that would bring his vision to the next level.

Not only did Scott create “The Dean’s List Tour” but he also organized the “No Boys Allowed Tour” in which shined light on female talent and focused on women empowerment. The birth of Mor.bookings Agency occurred after the success of the tour. He was adamant about providing artists with other opportunities if they were unable to be an addition to the “Dean’s List Tour”. As he climbed the ladder as an event guru, his schedule became filled. It was during this time that Scott was fired from both of his jobs. Scott and his team immediately created a way to enhance the budget for the company. The “Toast to Life” party assisted him in generating funds along with open mics that eventually transitioned into show cases.

Daze Summit, a prominent and successful music festival, was developed as a result of a dream Scott Morris had. After his experience at SXSW, he was determined to create a platform that New York could call its own. Daze Summit is now one of the most sought after festivals in the New York area. Scott is passionate about placing talented creatives in the forefront while also utilizing his platform to educate and inspire those who are looking to pursue a plethora of different careers. Furthermore, Daze Summit has granted 12 scholarships to students throughout the years.

Scott Morris has worked on projects with artists such as, Dababy, Lil Tecca, and Mulatto, to name a few. His reputation and roster of accolades continues to increase as he develops, curates, and hosts more events. He is knowledgeable, determined, and passionate about the entertainment business and strives to be the next Diddy. The sky is the limit for this unique and strong willed entrepreneur. Be sure to follow him for the remainder of his journey.

Published

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
