Morpheus
With his captivating voice, Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter Morpheus makes his debut this year with his debut EP 'Morphosis.' His project revolves around telling authentic stories with soulful vocals. After the unexpected loss of his mother, Morpheus decided to transform this poignant experience into strength, healing, and wisdom. He embarked on creating the music that would result in his debut EP 'Morphosis.' With interviews in Trouw, 3voor12, Behind the Blinds, and support tours with artists such as Thomas Azier, Ásgeir, Naaz, Kovacs, and Pitou, his name is buzzing.
In preparation for his next EP, set to be released early next year and produced by Thomas Azier, he is experimenting with classical and orchestral elements along with contemporary productions and digital beats. This fusion allows him to blend the romantic past with his feet firmly planted in the present. The EP represents resilience after a period of sadness and the light that shines on the horizon.
