Get to Know Morrissa

Morrissa was introduced to music at a very young age. Honing her gifts as a classically trained pianist and vocalist she won her first national songwriting competition at just 7 years old- evidently proving that Morrissa was on the right path. As she grew, her love for music and the arts grew with her. She recalls many weekends filled with joyful car rides rehearsing, while travelling throughout the city to perform in: musicals, choirs, stage plays and vocal & piano recitals all throughout her teenage years. Morrissa continued to pursue the arts by working incredibly hard to become a trained actress and received her first television credit shortly after completing her education with some of Toronto’s best acting coaches. Attending a National competition for acting and singing led Morrissa to the United States. There, she released her first EP Album out of Nashville, TN with the hit single “What If” blazing radio airways all before her 20th birthday. This album allowed Morrissa to meet with the likes of Peter Youngren and travel across North America singing and gracing stages with Gospel giants like Karen Clarke Sheard, Fred Hammond, JJ Hairston and many others. Whether songwriting, playing piano or singing Morrissa feels music is the best way to reach hearts around the world. She affirms that, “Music transcends borders and languages making it one of the most powerful tools to connect with people”.
