Canadian interdisciplinary pianist (performs on the Backxwash album HIS HAPPINESS SHALL COME FIRST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUFFERING)

Morgan-Paige’s (CA) full name is Morgan-Paige Melbourne. While she has deep roots in classical music, she had her doubts about whether that was her future: “It was hard to see myself as a classical pianist because there was nobody I could look up to who looked like me. Playing piano is my heart and soul, but there was so much discrimination. So, I started leaning toward pop music, because there were more people like me doing that.”
Aside from her love for 90s R&B, hip-hop and jazz, she’s since embraced heavy metal “because of the way they implement their minor and tonal structures”. It’s no surprise then that she appeared on the Backxwash album HIS HAPPINESS SHALL COME FIRST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUFFERING. A nice quote to round things off: “To know her is to love her, and when her fingers touch the keys, pure magic unfolds.”
