Mr Harvey Morris

HARVEY E. MORRIS is the President/CEO of TUFF STUFF Productions. Harvey is an Emmy Award-winning music producer, gifted singer/songwriter, vocal arranger, actor and professional drummer. Harvey's extensive, diversified experience has contributed to his reputation as a consummate professional in the entertainment industry.   Harvey was born in Bronx, New York to Harvey and Lorraine Morris.  Early on, his parents knew he was destined to be a musician. By age 2, Harvey’s parents purchased his first drum set to keep him from beating on their pots and pans. By the age of 4, Harvey and his cousins were dancing and singing to the sounds of Motown and Stax Records. It was clear to Harvey’s family from that point on that he desired to become an entertainer. Growing up in a household with God-fearing grandparents, Harvey attended the St. Luke A.M.E. church in Harlem, New York, and at age 8 began singing in the Children’s Choir under the caring directorship of Yvonne Clark.  When he was just 12 years old, and under the tutelage of music director Leon Tubman, also of St. Luke’s A.M.E. in Harlem, Harvey recorded his first commercial for American Airlines.  The years to follow have been constantly progressing for him.   During those colorful years, Harvey has collected a patchwork, quilt-like scrapbook with pages that continue to be filled with tour dates, photographs, recordings, wonderful opportunities and memories that have allowed him to share the stage with artists and groups including The Main Ingredient, featuring Cuba Gooding, Freddie Jackson, Cameo, Roy Ayers, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Dane, Bobby Humphrey, Melba Moore, George Faison, Allison Williams and  Gavin DeGraw, to name a few.    Harvey has also tipped his hat into voiceovers for TV Land on the Nickelodeon network.  He has created music for Ashley Stewart, a clothing company for women, and co-produced the title track for the PBS television special, Voices in Conflict, for which he earned an Emmy.  Harvey has also earned SAG/AFTRA credits for his role as “Phat Jimmy” in the motion picture Begin Again (2013). Most recently, and under his company TUFF STUFF Productions, Harvey released his first CD entitled Harvey Morris & The House Of Praise (2016).   Harvey’s objective is to empower people through positive music and image.  One of his favorite scriptures is Luke 12:48, “To whom much is given, much is required.”
