About Huey Morgan


Hugh Thomas Diaz Morgan is an American musician best known as the former frontman of rock/hip hop band Fun Lovin' Criminals. Morgan performs both vocals and guitar and combines rock, hip hop, jazz, reggae, and funk influences in his music. He is also a presenter for BBC Radio and has made film and TV appearances.


Morgan is an American, born to Puerto Rican-American and Irish-American parents. In his youth, he committed petty crimes and dealt cocaine, and he was arrested while driving a stolen car.


He had a choice between going to jail or joining the Marines. He decided on the latter and has the Marines motto, Semper Fidelis tattooed on his right arm. After being honourably discharged from the Marines he started DJ’ing in NYC clubs. He met Brian "Fast" Leiser at the Limelight where they played at a birthday party and got scouted for EMI.


In 1993, Morgan formed Fun Lovin' Criminals with Brian Leiser and Steve Borgovini. During Morgan's tenure with the band, they released six studio albums, three of which made the top 10 in the UK Albums Chart, and scored eight top 40 hits in the UK Singles Chart. On 12 November 2021, it was announced that Morgan had left the Fun Lovin' Criminals. In 2010, Morgan made a guest appearance in the music video of Plan B's single "Prayin'", and in 2012, he collaborated with JetTricks on the track "See Us Through" from their album Better Than Real Life. Also in 2012, Morgan released his début solo album Say It to My Face, credited to Huey and the New Yorkers.


Morgan had a short-lived, ghost-written wine column for the British magazine Mondo from 2000 to 2001.


In June 2015, Morgan released his first book, Rebel Heroes: The Renegades of Music & Why We Still Need Them.
