 Morris
Mott comes from a diverse musical background having been
influenced by various genres. Musical influences range
from classic country, bluegrass, classic rock and today’s
country sound. Growing up in Mississippi, he played
bass and rhythm guitar with various Southern Gospel
groups. After moving to Indianapolis, he formed a
bluegrass group, in which he sang lead and played rhythm
guitar. Through all the years, his love of Country
music remained strong. In
1998, he met a songwriter from Nashville who suggest they
begin to write with lyrics and melodies that fit Morris’
unique musical passion and positive Christian message.
“Faith Country” was born. The first project,
“Beyond Your Dreams” met with great success.
Three singles were released to Christian and mainstream
radio stations through compilation discs and independent
mailings. All three charted on various Christian
Country Charts, both nationally and internationally.
His venues are normally
churches or Christian organizations, due to being an
experienced and noted motivational Christian speaker.
In 2004, he made about 200 appearances in eight
states. In this setting he intertwined the music with
the message. However, since receiving the New Male
Vocalist Award in Christian Country music for 2003 and the
airplay success, the music venues are expanding to include
organizational functions, fairs, rodeos and other places
where country music is desired and a positive message is
appreciated.
His high energy selections
and smooth country ballads connect with audiences of various
musical genres and demographics. A comment often heard
following one of his concerts, “I usually don’t like
country music, but I like your type of country.”
Morris completed recording
his second project, “No Limits” in Nashville
during June 2004.
