Early and personal life
Marcus Antonio Patterson Jr. was born on August 27, 1993 in Baltimore, Maryland. He was raised in a city engulfed in trap music, but he discovered an innate knack for singing and taught himself melodies by converting hip hop songs into R&B. He plays the piano, guitar and produces the majority of his music. Mornin creates and hosts events to give back to the community such as Tech Tech Talk which he hosted after going viral on Twitter. He soon relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue music.
Influences
Although he originally wanted to be a video game programmer, Mornin’s interest in music stemmed at an early age—he sang in his church choir at age 5, and began writing music around age 11. He also learned to read music and play the trumpet and piano in middle school, and took music production classes in high school. In 2011, Mornin found himself going back to old R&B to immerse himself in classic R&B and eventually fell in love with the likes of Prince, Rick James, Lauryn Hill, and Stevie Wonder.
