(New York, NY) - February 17, 2026, - On the heels of winning his sixth GRAMMY® Award, the SRG-ILS Group proudly welcomes PJ Morton’s own Morton Records to its label roster.

PJ Morton is a soul singer, songwriter, performer and producer based in New Orleans. He is a 6x GRAMMY-winner and 22x GRAMMY nominee who has earned numerous nominations for BET, Soul Train and NAACP Image Awards, in addition to selling out countless shows at historic venues like the Apollo Theater and others around the world.

On top of running Morton Records and serving as Maroon 5's full- time keyboardist for the past 15 years, he has collaborated with Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Jon Batiste, Nas, Lil Wayne, JoJo, Jill Scott and many others, and is the first Black composer to write an original song for a Disney attraction, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, now open at both Disney World and Disneyland.

“PJ Morton is a generational talent and everyone here at SRG/ILS is extremely excited to be part of his upcoming projects,” shares Claude Villani, CEO and Founder of The SRG-ILS Group.

“I am excited about this new partnership,” says PJ Morton. “When Walter Millsap initially brought the idea to me, I knew it would be a perfect fit for what Morton Records, and I were trying to do to take it to the next level.”

Under Morton Records’ partnership with the SRG/ILS Group, PJ Morton will start introducing songs from his next album later this year.

PJ Morton is also the first Black composer to ever write an original song for a Disney attraction, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, now open at both Disney World and Disneyland. His latest solo album, Cape Town to Cairo, was fully created during a 30-day trip across Africa, and in his debut memoir, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning (Worthy Publishing / Hachette Book Group), Morton recounts and reflects upon a trailblazing path that continues to defy expectations and straddle the tensions of music and faith, race and culture, expression and identity. Recently, he has ventured further into the worlds of film and television – writing the closing song for Regina King's Netflix film Shirley, producing music for Dr. Seuss’s Red Fish, Blue Fish on Netflix – as well as launching a new series of cross-genre collaborations, titled “A PJ Morton Production.” Championing stars across hip-hop, R&B and gospel (La Reezy, Darrel Walls and more), Morton is helming each project at his own Studio in the Country, the historic 26-acre complex in rural Bogalusa, Louisiana, where everyone from Stevie Wonder to Dr. John, The Neville Brothers, The Meters, Trent Reznor and Willie Nelson have made classic records, and now Morton is working to preserve.
