Eddie Morales

Growing up in the tough neighborhoods of Brooklyn, NY, Eddie Morales of Puerto Rican

descent , never knew he would one day be paid to travel internationally alongside some

of the world’s most iconic music superstars. From attending Julliard briefly to transferring

to John Dewey High School, Morales’s humble beginnings nurtured his fighter mentality

from singing to graduating from "Lee Strasbergs" world renowned Acting school to be the

best, amongst the best.

The journey to dance with the best was not an easy one for this now internationally

sought after dancer and choreographer. During his high school years, Morales would

sneak out to underground clubs after school, dance all night until the early dawn, and

then sneak back home to get ready for school.

In 1995, while living in Brooklyn, Morales was involved in a hit and run bus accident

which left him fighting to walk. During his recuperation, Morales became inspired to

dance professionally when he saw Janet Jackson’s “IF” music video.

He began his incredible recovery with his own regiment of dancing for

rehabilitation. Once he was back on his feet again, Morales caught the eye of Mary J.

Blige who personally invited him to join her “Share My World” tour. Since then, Morales

has toured ,Performed & choreographed many world tours with international superstars

including Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Usher, Whitney Houston, Chris Brown, Boys II

Men, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Aaliyah, Big Pun, Alicia keys,

Timbaland, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G, Will Smith, J-LO and Missy Elliott to name a few.

Morales has also been featured in many memorable music videos such as Justin

Timberlake’s “Like I Love You” and changed the face of dance along side with Marty

Kudelka.

In addition to touring, he choreographed and was featured in the film “Stomp The Yard”.

Since 1998 Morales has remained a fixture of international award shows, dancing and

choreographing at such renowned premiere events including Grammy Awards, MTV’s

Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, World Music Awards and Asia Music

Awards, European Music Awards, NRJ Awards, UK Mobo Awards to name a few.

In addition to establishing himself in the professional dancing sub-culture of the

entertainment industry, Morales has also made a name for himself as a consultant to

some of the most influential tastemakers within the entertainment industry.

Morales states, “labels, artists and producers have all come to me, asking for my opinion

on the musical and visual aspects of various projects. I am asked for my opinion on

projects when they are in the development stage, long before the final vision is

released.”

A true international cultural ambassador, Morales has remained actively, creatively

involved with German based company “Who Got Skillz” since 2001, pre YouTube era,

assisting in delivering the best dancers and choreographers from the U.S.A to the most

remote regions of several countries around the world. Morales has played an

instrumental role hosting and producing instructional dance events and inspiring kids

from the poorest and toughest neighborhoods in the world, from Germany, Australia,

Russia, Japan, Czech Republic, Korea, China, Dubai, Prague, France, South Africa, UK,

South America, Scandinavia, Italy, Romania, Turkey, Holland, Belgium, and USA to

name a few.

Transitioning his career from dancer to choreographer, in the latter months of 2006,

Morales was honored With a request from Justin Timberlake. In preparation for the

impending two year international tour to promote Timberlake’s multi-platinum and

diamond selling album, "Justified, Future Sex / Love Sounds" and perform alongside him

at SUPER BOWL 52 halftime show.

Timberlake requested Morales to choreograph a number to the hit song, “Summer Love”.

His vibe and swag on "Like I love you" along with Marty Kudelka (Creative Director).

mark on this ever-changing entertainment industry.

million dollar events.
