Biography

There are two artists with the name Morel.
1.Richard Morel is a singer/songwriter, DJ, remixer and record producer from the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. He has worked extensively with Washington D.C.-based duo Deep Dish, co-writing, co-producing, performing and singing on many of their tracks, most notably on their albums Junk Science and George Is On.

As a dance music producer and remixer, he has released an extensive number of club hits using the names Morel and Pink Noise. Notable artists he has provided remixes for include Mariah Carey, Pet Shop Boys, Tina Turner, New Order, Depeche Mode, Filter, Yoko Ono, Seal, and The Killers.

In 1995 Morel started his own independent record label called Outsider Music. He released “Peterbilt Angel” and the “4-Track” cds on Outsider. Morel worked briefly with James Bradford. Bradford would go on to appear on the reality telvision show Can’t Get a Date, where Bradford’s inability to get past Morel’s unceremonious dumping of Bradford from the label would be cited as one of the things holding Bradford back from a successful life. Morel has collaborated with Ute Lemper and Daniel Ash for Outsider Music releases.


In 2002 he released Queen Of the Highway on Deep Dish’s Yoshitoshi label. The album, which contained not only house music tracks but also had modern rock, pop and hip-hop elements throughout, impressed many critics. The autobiographical and introspective lyrics helped to earn the album its critical praise. Included on the record are some of his past club hits: “True (The Faggot Is You),” “Funny Car (Love Is Dead)” and “Cabaret.” Technically, the album is released by a band also called Morel, fronted by Richard.
