Wesley Morgan is a professional musician, educator, and composer in the Chicago area. An experienced performer on both the electric and double bass, he brings a high level of creativity, energy, and enthusiasm to every performance.
While growing up in Kansas, Wesley took an interest in music at an early age. After trying several instruments, he settled on the electric bass shortly after his 13th birthday and followed with the upright bass a year later. Currently, he resides near Chicago with his wife (and mixed media artist) Angela Morgan, where he maintains an active performance schedule, serves as an adjunct faculty member at Lewis University, and offers private music instruction.
Wesley enjoys many styles of music, and as a result has performed with a variety of groups spanning the musical spectrum. He feels that as long as music is written and performed with passion, the labels attached to a genre should not stifle his duty to represent the artist’s work in the best way possible.
When he isn’t playing the bass or attending an art opening he is probably working on his house.
