PJ Morton is a soul singer, songwriter, performer and producer based in New Orleans. He is a 6x GRAMMY-winner and 22x GRAMMY nominee who has earned numerous nominations for BET, Soul Train and NAACP Image Awards, in addition to selling out countless shows at historic venues like the Apollo Theater and others around the world. On top of running his own record label, Morton Records, and serving as Maroon 5's full-time keyboardist for the past 15+ years, he has collaborated with Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Jon Batiste, Nas, Lil Wayne, JoJo, Jill Scott and many more.
Throughout his transformation from preacher's kid to one of the busiest men in music, PJ Morton has made albums everywhere from Africa to Louisiana, has recorded with everything from a lone piano to a full orchestra, and performed everywhere from church services to the Super Bowl Halftime Show. But until now, one thing he has never done is create a project that captures the full breadth of his artistry, identity and inspirations. On June 19th, 2026, PJ Morton releases Saturday Night, Sunday Morning, a double album split in two: one half of R&B (Saturday Night), one half of Gospel (Sunday Morning). Each record features nine new songs that seamlessly coexist, breaking down the barriers of sound, culture and genre that he has always sought to defy.
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning shares the same title as PJ Morton’s debut memoir (available now on Worthy Publishing / Hachette Book Group), in which he recounts and reflects upon a trailblazing path that continues to defy expectations and straddle the tensions of music and faith, race and culture, expression and identity. Recently, Morton has also ventured further into the worlds of film, television and beyond – becoming the first Black composer to write an original song for a Disney attraction, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, now open at Disney World and Disneyland; writing the closing song for Regina King's Netflix film, Shirley; producing music for Dr. Seuss’s Red Fish, Blue Fish on Netflix – as well as launching a new series of cross-genre collaborations, titled “A PJ Morton Production.” Championing stars across hip-hop, R&B and gospel (La Reezy, Darrel Walls, Teedra Moses), Morton is helming each project at his own Studio in the Country, the historic 20-acre complex in rural Bogalusa, Louisiana, where everyone from Stevie Wonder to Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, The Meters, Trent Reznor and Willie Nelson have made classic records, and now Morton is working to preserve.
