Morgan Taylor Reid is a modern day "piano man" with the talent of a seasoned musician and the youthful passion of an innovative record producer. When asked to describe his style of music Reid said he'd rather pick a guitar and play for you, or pull up his latest recording session in his studio, than try to describe his music in words.

Reid, born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, showed undoubting musical talent at a very early age. When he was three years old, Reid was introduced to his first musical instrument and immediately took to the melodies he heard surrounding him. Reid has a deep love for the piano, an instrument he began to pursue at the age of four. Over the years he has developed talent with guitar, bass, synth, and mandolin, among many other percussive instruments. As he grew up, he was exposed to his mother’s love of Top 40 hits as well as his father’s passion for classic rock n’ roll such as The Beatles, Eagles and Elton John. This exposure led him at the mere age of eleven to dabble in a bit of song writing of his own.

Nowadays, as a multitalented singer, songwriter, record producer and musician, Reid is involved in several musical endeavors. Primarily based in Los Angeles, California, Reid has written and produced several songs for artists like The Ready Set (Warner Bros), Plug In Stereo (Atlantic), Shane Harper (AMI/Universal Music Group), Zac Poor (AMI/Universal Music Group), Lola Blanc (Epic), South Jordan (Island) and several indie artists. In February 2011, Reid produced songs for award winning songwriter Giorgio Moroder who is best known for his work on films like Top Gun, Never Ending Story, and Scarface. And in April 2011, Reid began co-producing with internationally renowned record producer RedOne (Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Pit Bull, Enrique Iglesias) for his then newly signed band 7LIONS (2101 Records/Universal Music Group). 

The best way to experience the raw talent of Morgan Taylor Reid is to see his live solo performances. He has an incredible ability to captivate his audience with intricate acoustic guitar melodies, fast fingered piano skills and bright, soulful vocals. Reid's solo album Simply Human reveals the mellow singer/songwriter side of Reid, this heartfelt acoustic style EP has gotten Reid lots of media attention, Reid's song “Stay Where You Are” was used for a Levi's Jeans Campaign, his songs “Brighter” and “Where Do I Even Start?” have been featured on the popular network television show Grey's Anatomy (ABC). After being featured on Grey’s Anatomy, “Where Do I Even Start” reached No.74 on the Top 100 Alternative Songs on iTunes. Reid's song "Simply Human" will be featured on the hit TV serious HOUSE, M.D. (FOX) on January 23, 2012 and he has plans to release a new solo album in the Spring of 2012.
