Before embracing electronic music, Morrison was a classically trained pianist. At the age of four, he began composing and competing nationally through CMC, Kiwanis Music Festival, Richmond Hill Music Festival, and ORMTA. Morrison reached his ARCT through the Royal Conservatory of Music by the age of 14. In his early high school years, Morrison discovered Techno from a friend in his science class, and started collecting vinyl and becoming absorbed in underground DJ culture. He then worked at Release Records for five years before starting his own record label Morrison Recordings. Around the age of 20 Morrison started producing electronic music, learning from close friends deadmau5, Bruce Aisher, Peter Kriek, and Ariaan Olieroock. His first international hit was in 2007 when DJ Tiësto featured his track ‘Contact’ on his compilation In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza and it shot to the top of the World Dance Charts.
