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.
