Early life

Morgan Taylor Reid was born and raised in Santa Rosa, California. To Reid's family it became very clear early on, that he had a musical gift ever since his grandmother gave him a mini keyboard on his third Christmas. Upon receiving the keyboard and without ever having played one before, three-year-old Reid was instantly able to play back the melodies from Christmas songs note for note. From the age of four, Reid had spent almost every day practicing the piano. As a result of developing his musical aptitude at such a young age, Reid has become an intelligent musician with impeccable rhythm and the ability to immediately recognize musical notes by ear. He's also taught himself to play other musical instruments including the guitar at the age of thirteen, followed by the bass, synthesizers, mandolin, drums and many other percussive instruments. Growing up, Reid was extremely influenced by his mother's fixation with the latest in Top 40 Pop Music and his father's love of classic artists such The Beatles, Elton John and the Eagles. These musical influences inspired Reid to start writing songs at the age of eleven.
