----------
Brian Alexander Morgan is an American record producer that was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, United States. He was discovered by Club Nouveau founding member Jay King, who got Morgan's group a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records in 1987. When his group's album failed to chart, they were dropped and Morgan was mentored by producer Robert Brookins.
Morgan was also labelmates with singer Chanté Moore at Warner Bros., but her album never saw the light of day due to Jay King losing the production deal over the failure of the second Club Nouveau album. Morgan- who had feelings for Moore- penned the song "Weak", which later became a hit for R&B group SWV. He originally intended to use the song for Charlie Wilson.
In the early 1990s, Morgan wrote and produced songs for Lalah Hathaway, Martha Wash, and Usher, among others. Outside of R&B, Morgan also worked in house music in the mid 2000s. Around the early 2010s, he was summoned by DJ Khalil to work on a few projects with him. Khalil's desire to work with him caused Morgan to relocate from Sacramento back to Los Angeles. Due to the move, Khalil and Morgan worked on Aloe Blacc's major label debut Lift Your Spirit.

I love half time chat. There’s so much detail in the interviews here that we just don’t really get on other interviews. I love it. And I love Bam’s work. His chords are heavenly. Also love that u both have on orange with the glasses lol 🧡🧡🧡
Bless you my sister. Nothing can prevent great talent from shinning and it's your time now. Brian was 💯 correct about how awesome you are. 💖👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Where can I get that fire 🔥 Do It Again track????
I AM LOVING NEFERTITI !!!!!!
During that era, Devante Swing also wrote and produced songs by himself
Great interviews with a great producer. I love how transparent Brian is about his process, as well as the industry as a whole. Appreciate your channel and all of your amazing content.#Salute
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏾
That Do It Again track is pure fire 🔥!!!!!
Nefertiti Avani has high praise from heavyweight producers like Teddy Riley, Missy and Battlecat. Next few weeks for the release
I would love to sit in on a Brian Alexander Morgan session and just learn as a producer myself. R&B is really popular in Africa and in Kenya we grew up on 90’s era of hip hop & rnb
Try reaching out to him on IG
@@HalftimeChat I will. Hopefully one day you’ll get to interview a producer called Tedd Josiah who shaped music in Kenya and Africa with the r&b sound.
Love this!
🙏🏾
Yeah. I hear what Alexander is saying. He probably is the last of the single producers. It gets crazy where now collabo’s are the norms. U can have like 8 to 20 people producing one song. I know everybody wants a piece of the pie. But it can get out of control where u lose the flavor of the song.👍🏾
It seems like the musicians aren't producing music anymore. A bunch of button pushers and knob turners. I could be wrong though.
They now have to collaborate with a lot more people now than before
The music lacks identity or authenticity nowadays, no wonder why all the music sounds the same
It's true, especially as they are taking from so many people of different vibes.
I wouldn't say he's the last 100-percenter... Not to toot my own horn, but...
Seems like he doesn't really like co-writing,, but went along with it because it's the new thing. Remember he said previously that the record label was trying to get him to co-write with Coko and he didn't see the need for it? On this topic he really flip flopped, he didn't like it then he thinks it is good, which is it? I think he is fine on his own
I think the first time they wanted to force the co-writing with the girls who weren't writers. Now he's working with songwriters and producers who are keeping his music current
He almost immediately contradicted himself after saying that he's one of the last people to do everything himself to saying that he collaborating with others. There's nothing wrong with working with others, because sometimes it brings fresh ideas and a broader appeal to a project.
He's saying he's the last that can actually do it...BUT he's flexible and will collaborate! thats not a contradiction,
