Composer Background information
The first time Lea Morris (she/her) sang in public, she was a three-year-old with her hair styled in two afro puff balls. The hymn was “Sweet Sweet Spirit.” The First Baptist Church of Baltimore was the proving ground where the future troubadour learned the sanctity and power of music. Lea currently resides in Germany, but in her hometown of Washington DC, she’s often been acknowledged as one of the area’s best composers and recording artists.
