BIO:
Morris Raskin is a producer and songwriter from New York City. He started playing the piano at age 5, picked up the guitar in freshman year, and has been writing songs since middle school. His original songs, which mostly fall into pop and indie genres, are all self-produced and written. As the president of his high school’s Music Production Club, he also enjoys helping his friends and school community produce their own songs. Thus far, he has executive produced two “Stuyvesant Music Production Club” albums, which aggregate musical talent from all around the school, bringing together Stuyvesant singers, writers, producers, and instrumentalists. In the future, he hopes to keep producing his own music (as well as the music of his peers), and release more songs into the world very soon.
