P. Morris

Philesciono Canty, known professionally as P. Morris, is an American musician and record producer based in Los Angeles, California. Canty co-founded the record label Bear Club Music Group.

His discography includes several studio albums as well as numerous mixtapes, EPs, and collaborative projects.

Early life Philesciono Canty was born in Topeka, Kansas. His mother is a professor of Black music and his father is a radio personality. Canty attended Topeka High School, a public high school in Topeka, Kansas. Canty briefly enrolled at the University of Kansas to study film.

Career In 2013, he released his mixtape Debut. He also appeared on compilation album Night Slugs Allstars Vol. 2. Resident Advisor writer Andrew Ryce noted that "he fetishizes the holographic allure of southern rap beats, but fastens them to a distinctly American hip-hop template".

The same year, he was featured on Cut 4 Me, the debut EP by singer-songwriter Kelela. The song Go All Night, his first of several collaborations with Kelela, was also featured on the Solange Knowles–curated compilation Saint Heron. Later in 2014, Morris worked with Canadian producer Mocky to create the song "Grace," which appeared on his EP Beloved. In its review of Beloved, Resident Advisor remarked that "the loud-and-soft dynamic comes to life best on ‘Beloved,’ which seems like the happy resolution ... replete with sweetly-sung vocals and pretty piano playing."

In 2014, Morris toured with FKA Twigs.

In 2015, Morris reunited with producer Mocky for the project Head in the Clouds, a joint release in which the two artists remixed each other's songs.

In 2016, he produced Houston rapper Fat Tony's short Look EP, who Stereogum Collin Robinson praised for "snapping right out of the gate, spitting hard over P. Morris' beat".

In 2021, he collaborated with comedian and rapper Zack Fox on the track "uhhh", featured on Fox's album Shut the Fuck Up Talking to Me.
