In early October 2012, Reid wrote "It's Christmas Time Again" with Backstreet Boys members Nick Carter and Howie Dorough along with songwriter Mika Guillory.

Early life

Morgan Taylor Reid, born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, had musical talent from a very early age. When Reid was three years old, he was introduced to his first musical instrument and immediately took to the melodies he heard surrounding him. He has a deep love for the piano, an instrument he began to pursue at the age of four. Over the years he has developed talent with guitar, bass, synth, and mandolin, among many other percussive instruments.

As he grew up, he was exposed to his mother’s love of Top 40 hits as well as his father’s passion for classic rock n’ roll such as The Beatles, Eagles (band) and Elton John. This exposure led him at the mere age of eleven to dabble in a bit of song writing of his own.

Producing career

As a multitalented singer, songwriter, record producer and musician, Morgan Taylor Reid is constantly involved in several musical endeavors. Primarily based in Los Angeles, California, Reid has written and produced several songs for artists such as Backstreet Boys, Megan Nicole (Bad Boy Records),The Ready Set (Warner Bros. Records), Plug In Stereo (Atlantic Records), Shane Harper (Deep Well Records (Adam Anders)), and several indie artists.

In April 2011, Reid began co-producing with internationally renowned record producer RedOne for his then newly signed band 7Lions (2101 Records/Universal Music Group). Reid wrote, produced and developed the debut EP Born 2 Run for the band 7Lions. After its release on June 19, 2012, the Born 2 Run album debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 charts at #15 on the Alternative Chart and #33 on the New Artist Chart.

In addition to producing the Backstreet Boys 2012 Christmas single "It's Christmas Time Again", Morgan Taylor Reid has produced several songs for the eighth Backstreet Boys album set to be released July 30, 2013. On the red carpet of American Music Awards on November 18, 2012, the Backstreet Boys stated that they were more than halfway done with the new album and they're working with "up and coming guys who have a sound that hasn't been heard yet" such as Morgan Taylor Reid and The Fliptones.

Solo Artist Career

Reid's solo album Simply Human reveals the mellow singer/songwriter side of Reid, this heartfelt acoustic style EP has gotten Reid lots of media attention, Reid's song "Stay Where You Are" was used for a Levi's Jeans Campaign, his songs "Brighter" and "Where Do I Even Start?" have been featured on the popular network television show Grey's Anatomy on ABC. After being featured on Grey’s Anatomy, "Where Do I Even Start?" reached #74 on the Top 100 Alternative Songs on iTunes.
