The Café Royal Cultural Foundation NYC has awarded a 2021 Spring Music Grant to Morley to complete her new project, “Follow the Sound”, an intimate full length acoustic album of original compositions that documents some of the year's journey of survival through the pandemic, our global rise for racial justice, reuniting families, grief, celebration, loneliness, falling in love, and the courage to begin again.

Raised in vibrantly multicultural Jamaica, Queens, and educated at the United Nations School, Duke Ellington High School for the Performing Arts and Alvin Ailey, Morley travels the world to sit and sing with visionaries on the frontiers of social change. Her music has appeared on network television, commercials and in human rights documentaries, and it has moved minds and spirits as diverse as His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, entrepreneur Richard Branson, and Betty Williams. Morley has graced stages as wide-ranging as the Nomad Women’s Festival in the Sahara Desert and Carnegie Hall. 

To date, Morley has released seven albums of original songs via Sony, Universal and independently, six of which she produced as well as co-produced. She is currently in the cast of Toshi Reagon's, "Parable Of The Sower - The Opera" and recently wrote and performed the theme Song for "That Kindness - A play for and by the Nurses of America" by V (Formerly Eve Ensler). 

“Follow The Sound” will be produced by Chris Bruce, a uniquely genuine and visionary presence in music today. A multi instrumentalist, producer, writer, recording and touring musician. Christopher Bruce is a long time collaborator with Meshell Ndegeocello, My Brightest Diamond, Toshi Reagin and Lizz Wright. He has worked with many luminaries such as Joe Henry, Trevor Horn, Craig Street, Mavis Staples, George Clinton, Chris Connelly and more. 

“Follow The Sound” will be released spring of 2022. 

Morley has been a featured performer at TEDWomen and several TEDx gatherings nation wide. ”Circle Round Dignity, Courage and Survival” a performance-based round table which Morley produces has been generously commissioned by Lincoln Center. Morley's latest album, "Thousand Miles" was a fully funded crowd sourced project that documented her two years of travel bearing witness and sitting in forgiveness circles in post and present conflict regions. Morley spearheaded the successful fundraiser "Borderless Lullabies" that continues to be a source of revenue for the pro bono legal defense fund KIND - Kids - In - Need - Of - Defense to aid reuniting children with their families after being separated by ICE.
