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, and Alvin Ailey, Morley travels the world to sing with and for visionaries on the frontiers of social change. She has graced stages as wide-ranging as the Nomad Women’s Festival in the Sahara Desert and Carnegie Hall.

Thousand Miles, Morley’s most recent and sixth studio album, recorded with Brian Blade, Toshi Reagon, John Cowherd, Joan Wasser (Joan As Police Woman), Will Lee and more... is the culmination of a global journey of sitting in forgiveness circles in post conflict regions. Morley’s poetic and large-hearted lyrics reverence the unsung heroes and heroisms of which our noblest nature is woven, reminding us that art may be humanity’s mightiest tool of empathy and reconciliation.
