• 2Career

Early life[edit]

Morrison was born in the town of Rugby, Warwickshire, where he was surrounded by the influence of his parents' record collection; his mother was a fan of soul while his father enjoyed listening to folk and country.^[5] He began playing guitar when his uncle Joe showed him how to play a blues riff.^[6] As a teenager he started busking when he lived in Porth, Newquay and Truro, Cornwall,^[7] in a local pub called the Phoenix, Watergate Bay. He used to practise playing his guitar on the promenade looking over Porth beach. He took GCSE music at Treviglas Community College. After some years of covering other musicians' songs, he eventually started to write his own. He attributes his distinctive voice to a severe bout of whooping cough that nearly killed him when he was a baby.^[8]

Morrison has alluded to an unhappy childhood affected by poverty and illness; he said of his hometown 'the best thing is I've got memories of being a kid there and the worst thing is I've got memories of being a kid there.'^[5] When Morrison was only a few weeks old, he contracted whooping cough and was given a 30% chance of survival from doctors, who believed that if he survived, he would be severely brain damaged.^[9] He states that he 'went blue and stopped breathing and [doctors] had to resuscitate me four times.'^[9] After the experience, his parents divorced when he was four years old and he suffered from low self esteem at school, where he was ostracized for being involved in music rather than any sports. He finally gained confidence when he moved to Cornwall as a teenager, where people were more accepting of his musical inclinations.^[9]

According to Morrison, he was influenced by music from a very young age, listening to artists such as Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Van Morrison and Al Green. Morrison said that the first time he heard Stevie Wonder's voice he was close to tears, and has since been fascinated by the way he utilizes his voice.^[10]

Working in Derby, Morrison found an Irish bar called Ryan's Bar & Scream—which runs an open mic night on Wednesdays and Sundays. Ben Wilson & Morrison became acquainted with Kevin Andrews, who produced Morrison's first demo tape and co-wrote the song 'One Last Chance'—which would later be re-recorded and appear on his debut studio album, Undiscovered. His demos were eventually picked up by Polydor Records.^[11][12]

Career[edit]

Breakthrough and Undiscovered[edit]

He achieved worldwide success with debut single 'You Give Me Something', which reached No. 2 in the Netherlands and the No. 5 spot in the UK. He released his debut album Undiscovered on 31 July 2006. The album received generally positive reviews with The Sun,^[13] claiming 'There isn't a bad track on it'.^{[citation needed]} An equally positive review by The Times stated that 'Undiscovered may prove to be the least apposite album title for years'. It topped the UK Albums Chart on its first week of its release. The album sold over 1 million copies around the world by the end of 2006.^{[citation needed]}, making Morrison the best-selling male solo artist of 2006 in the UK.^[14]

The album's second single was 'Wonderful World', which broke into the top ten in the UK following its CD single release, peaking at No. 8. The song fared just as well in the Netherlands where it peaked at No. 8. This was his second top ten single following the success of 'You Give Me Something'. On 18 December 2006 Morrison's third single, 'The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore' was released. It peaked at No. 30 in the UK. The fourth single from Undiscovered was the title song 'Undiscovered' which was released on 13 March 2007. 'Undiscovered' peaked at No. 63. The song fared better in the Netherlands where it peaked at No. 30.^[15]

Morrison was scheduled to play at the 2006 V Festival, in one of the smaller tents there. The audience, however, was much larger than expected and couldn't fit into the tent allocated for him. As a result, he had a ten-minute set on the main stage before Hard-Fi came on (Weston Park). At the 2007 V Festival he played his full set on the main stage. He also performed 'You Give Me Something' at the 2006 Royal Variety Performance before Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall. He appeared on Live from Abbey Road following his live recording session at Abbey Road Studios on 5 January 2007.

Songs for You, Truths for Me[edit]

Morrison collaborated with Jason Mraz on the track 'Details in the Fabric' on Mraz's studio album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., which was released on 13 May 2008.^[17]

On 29 September 2008, Morrison's second album entitled Songs for You, Truths for Me was released. In the writing process for this album he worked with Ryan Tedder, Dan Wilson, Martin Terefe, Martin Brammer, Chris Braide and Steve Robson. The album also features a duet with Nelly Furtado entitled 'Broken Strings' co-written with Fraser T Smith and Nina Woodford. From October 2008 until the end of the year Morrison has toured throughout Europe. The album performed well, debuting in the top three of the UK Albums Chart and spending 5 weeks in the top ten. When talking about the album, Morrison stated that the music had 'moved on' a lot from the first album but not to the point where fans of his previous album wouldn't be able to 'get it'.^[14]

'You Make It Real' was released a week before the release of the album as the lead single. As part of the promotion, Morrison performed the single on GMTV, Radio 1's Live Lounge and the BBC Children in Need charity appeal. The song debuted at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart giving Morrison his third top ten hit. 'You Make It Real' spent a total of eight weeks on the chart. The second single of the album was 'Broken Strings,' the collaboration with Nelly Furtado. The single was released on 15 December 2008. It entered the singles charts at number 73 and slowly rose for four weeks before, following a performance of the song with Girls Aloud on The Girls Aloud Party, broke into the top ten at number 6, giving Morrison his fourth top ten hit. The following week the song rose to a new high, rising to number 4 on the 2008 Christmas chart. This makes Broken Strings Morrison's most successful single by peak position to date in the UK as, on 11 January 2009 it climbed to number two, being held off the top spot by Just Dance, the debut single from Lady Gaga. The song's highest entry was in Germany's Single Top 100 where it entered the chart at the top spot.

Following the success of Broken Strings, the album which had been gradually descending down the album chart, made a leap from number forty eight to twenty nine and then two weeks later, re-entered the top ten at number seven. It rose again the next week to number four and was charting at number five, twenty weeks after release. The same effect allowed Songs For You, Truths For Me to gain success in Ireland. After dropping off the Irish Albums Chart completely, it re-entered the chart at number seventy three. It rose for several weeks until it was charting at number thirteen. The next week the album climbed to the top of the chart, entering the top ten at number one. This gave Songs For You, Truths For Me its first number one chart placement and gave Morrison his second number one album.

On 30 April 2009, it was announced on Take That's official site that Morrison would be supporting the band at some venues and dates on their 2009 tour.

The Awakening[edit]

In 2010, Morrison announced that he had been working on his third studio album. In a June 2010 interview he stated 'I've sung too many love ballads. I want to go a bit deeper than that and find more substance. I still don't feel confident enough to write by myself, but that is my aim. I just keep convincing myself that I'm not good enough. There are plenty of good singers out there – it's writing that's the key thing. When I'm working with other people I've heard them say 'Let's try to write a James Morrison chorus.' I want to pretend that I haven't made any albums at all and start afresh.'^[20]Morrison has worked with Kara DioGuardi and Toby Gad for this album.^{[citation needed]}

He announced one of the tracks on the album might be called 'The Awakening' saying, 'I want to write about this idea of an awakening of some kind. I've written a song with that title, which I'm really happy with. There's some funky digeridoo going on'.^[20]

In May he stated on his Facebook page that he had almost finished his album and would be releasing it very soon.^[21]
