With the smooth resonance of his vocals and the comforting embrace of nylon strings, Liam Morton channels elegance. His early musical memories are intertwined with the enchanting notes of "Moon River," played by his mother on the piano. This moment that sparked a lifelong commitment to crafting beautiful music.
Liam's musical career began during his childhood as a street performer in Brisbane. It was during this time that he honed his skills in Flamenco, Jazz, and Classical Guitar. The local music scene warmly embraced him, and he soon found himself playing in cozy cafes across his hometown.
Along this journey, Liam discovered the joy of singing, adding a new dimension to his performances. With a growing sense of self-assurance, he began sharing his music in the intimate settings of bars and restaurants, where his passion for both guitar and vocals thrived.
In 2021, Liam relocated to Melbourne, diving headfirst into the city's vibrant music scene. Performing at notable venues like Shotkickers, The Penny Black, and Last Chance Rock & Roll Bar, he established a strong presence in the Melbourne music scene. Participating in events such as the St Kilda Festival and Mordialloc Food, Wine & Music Festival further solidified his reputation.
In 2023 Liam took a transformative step by packing up his life and embarking on a one-way journey to Brazil, the birthplace of Bossa Nova. In the heart of Rio de Janeiro, Liam's path intersected with Anselmo Rocha, a true master of Bossa Nova and a friend of the legendary João Gilberto. For two transformative months, Liam lived and studied with Anselmo, absorbing the essence of Bossa Nova. This profound experience left an indelible mark on Liam's musical identity.
Now, when Liam covers Pop songs, he seamlessly weaves in the rhythmic intricacies, and melodic grace of Bossa Nova. As he continues to evolve artistically, Liam is excited to share that he's currently working on a new album of original material, slated for release later in 2024. This upcoming project promises to be a testament to his musical journey, seamlessly blending the soulful influences of Bossa Nova with contemporary sounds.
