Determined not to end there, he gained admission into Tarkoradi polytechnic and graduated with an HND in building engineering in the year 2005; whiles taking short courses in computer science. Growing up, Morris was a part of the junior choir of the Abeka Christian Church, and was made lead singer most of the time. Even though it was obvious his passion was in music at that stage in his life, Morris still had other interests like every normal growing boy: likes that still exist till date. These included listening to music, playing football, sleeping, watching movies and playing guitar by the roadside. Being the best student in his class, Morris was quite and had fewer friends. He was highly noted in JHS for hitting tables and singing copyright of songs from Shabba Ranks, C.J Lewis and Plies. He fell in love with the baritone voice of Buju Banton; it therefore came as no surprise when he chose him as his mentor. Morris adored the course singing melody style of Wycliffe Jean too. With a mindset of higher achievement and leaving footprints in music, something that came to Morris as a passion, he set out to recording songs with the little money he had on him. He came out with a Demo which started airing on radio stations in Takoradi. Whiles in tertiary school, Morris collaborated with a brother, (PV) and performed at the Wesley Grammar Secondary school in Accra.

Being a Dancehall artiste with Reggae, Zouk and high life, the split of the Wutah group did not demise him. It interestingly strengthened the talented and god fearing musician to achieving greater heights. The release of his single,’Tsotsoo’ from his album SELFLESS BLISS, shows hardcopy evidence of his determination and passion for his musical career.
