Morris Babyface Biography:
Born Marx Morris Twumasi, Morris Babyface aka Morris D’Voice Lovit is a prolific and accomplished Ghanaian record/music producer, singer, songwriter, keyboardist, and now an ordained pastor.
Unarguably, Morris Babyface still remains Ghana’s all time best record/music producer, winning Ghana Music Awards’ “Best Sound Engineer of The Year” twice in the early 2000s — and this was at the time one of Ghana’s greats, Zapp Mallet had virtually ‘monopolized’ that aspect of the award scheme.
Remember, the likes of Killbeatz, MOG Beatz, Willisbeatz, DJ Breezy, Unkle Beatz, and Richie were, perhaps, ‘newly born babies’ who were crawling on the ground at the time Morris was in his prime.
He’s the only prominent Kumasi-based record/music producer who never moved his base to the capital, Accra — as it has become the norm — and yet, was able to move the entire prominent artistes from Accra to Kumasi to record their individual mega hit songs.
As the best keyboardist in Ghana — with Kwame Yeboah of Kojo Antwi band fame as his only competitor — Morris’ prowess in music production is simply superb and incomparable.
