Morgan Guerin
New York City-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, and engineer Morgan Guerin has achieved much in his young, burgeoning career. From composition to appearances on significant stages, Guerin has spent his life exploring new and exciting ways to navigate sound.
Born right outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, Guerin gravitated towards the drums when he was just a few months old and started playing the saxophone when he was seven. He moved to Atlanta in 2009 to complete middle and high school, where he also began playing more instruments and getting deeper into engineering and production. He then moved to New York City in 2016. Guerin is skilled in several instruments, including bass, saxophones, electronic wind instrument (EWI), drums, and keys. Notable collaborators include Terri Lyne Carrington, Esperanza Spalding, Kassa Overall, and Tyshawn Sorey.
Dubbed a “wunderkind saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist” by The New York Times, Guerin was born into a musical family with a pianist mother and bassist father. Later, he went on to study at The New School in Manhattan. In 2016, the Huffington Post named his debut album, “The Saga,” one of the year's best Jazz albums. In 2017, Stereogum highlighted his sophomore album, “The Saga II,” as one of the best new albums. He was featured on Terri Lyne Carrington & Social Science’s award-winning album, “Waiting Game.” He was also a songwriter and co-producer of Esperanza Spalding’s 2019 Grammy-winning record, “12 Little Spells”. His third album, “The Saga III,” was released on September 18, 2020.
