Since
the group's creation during the Summer of
1994, Kay Morris & the Jewels have been
touring extensively here at home in Canada
as well as in the international arena.
In less
than seven years, Kay Morris and the Jewels,
symbolically representing the spiritual
riches found within the band's soul, have
been able to break many religious, racial,
and cultural barriers with her music. The
group's musical material demonstrates a
positive message and is voiced through Kay's
energetic delivery. A commanding voice which
displays a beautiful balance between soft
and reverent whispers to emotionally charged
pleas. Metaphorically, the music of Kay
Morris & the Jewels is somewhat
"non-denominational" in its style,
yet remains focused and fresh in its
approach.
Kay Morris
& The Jewels' debut album, "Live
Again" was first released in Canada in
December of 1995 and featured two original
compositions written by Kay. "Live
Again" received quite a bit of airplay
here in Canada as well as internationally,
and is still being played by a number of
radio stations well into the present. The
success of their first album resulted in the
band performing in various cities across
Canada in addition to playing at various
venues within the United States (New York,
Detroit, South Carolina, Chicago, New
Jersey, and Atlanta).
Building on
the group's growing popularity, Kay Morris
& The Jewels were awarded the 1996
Canadian Reggae Music Award in the "Top
Female New Comer" category during March
of 1997. One month later in April, the group
performed on City TV's popular morning show,
"Breakfast Television" aired in
Canada.
At the
beginning of 1999, Kay Morris & The
Jewels released their follow-up CD entitled
"ARMAGEDDON". Despite its
apocalyptic title, the band's album is
fueled even more by Kay's positive spirit:
exclusively she wrote eight out of the nine
tracks found on the CD.
"ARMAGEDDON" has received many
great reviews and has received airplay at a
number of radio stations in Jamaica,
Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, the
U.S., U.K., the Netherlands, France, Sweden,
Spain, Africa, and the Caribbean, as well as
Canada.
During the
Summer of 1999, the song "God Can Turn
It Around" was used as part of the
theme song for the "Revival Time T.V.
Ministry, which airs on the AIB Christian
Network in Atlanta, Georgia.
During the Fall of 2000, Kay Morris &
The Jewels released a "Praise &
Worship" song on a compilation CD in
South India, during the same time they
released their hit single "PRAY A
PRAYER FOR ME" in North America.
With the
group's growing popularity & fan-base,
the "Electrifying" Kay Morris
& The Jewels was awarded the 2000
Canadian Reggae Music Award in the "Top
Female Reggae Gospel Artist" category,
they also put on a stellar performance at
the award show.
With this as an example, the 'branches' of
Kay Morris' music is proof that her message
of a global spirituality is upon us and has
taken root in the hearts and minds of many.
