Some Famous People called Morris Mills
Morris Mills (musician)
Morris Lee Mills (born June 10, Greenville, Texas, United States) is an American, rock and funk singer-songwriter.Morris Mills in an acclaimed American singer and songwriter, whose diverse musical style has caught the attention of notable industry figures. Morris was born in Texas and migrated to Morris Mills is an artist who treats the artificial boundaries between genres, as well as those between secular and sacred like speed bumps – he knows that they are there but he does not allow those boundaries to deter him. Mills was born in Greenville, Texas and raised in Chicago and those two musical hotbeds where genres such as country, blues, funk, soul, jazz and Latin music bump up against each other informed a musical personality that is at one rebellious and reverent and constantly in pursuit of his own personal musical truth.
Over the course of six studio albums released since 2005, the pursuit of the ultimate personal musical, spiritual and political truths lead Mills to evolve artistically. His first project Love and Coffee was an R&B record that incorporated elements of funk and hints of the guitar god rock that he would embrace on later records, like 2019's The Dawn and The Revival, a project released in 2020.
Those divergent project were produced by one man for whom evolution has been the one constant in his artistic life. Mills has always been an artist who keeps his audience guessing. Mills will create a hard charging, rock influenced gospel tune such as "Revival" and then drop a cover of the Prince classic, "Uptown". Where some with limited vision will see this as hypocrisy, Mills focuses on the connective tissue of spiritual freedom of social expectations and norms the bind secular and sacred philosophies. That is the kind of deep insight that enlivened the art of Prince, the Mills cites as his greatest musical influence.
Morris writes, produces, arranges and composes. His live shows are impeccable.
