Theo Morgan was born on October 14th, 1982 on the beautiful shores of George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. He comes from Caymanian, Jamaican, Chinese and Spanish ancestry. Theo is the youngest son of Margaret R. Ebanks, a HBS Senior Supervisor, and Barrington Morgan, a New York City Church Leader, in which he has three older full brothers. As a child, Theo grew up listening to and embracing the reggae music of Bob Marley and the Wailers. But it wasn't until he saw Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson singing and performing on TV for the first time at the age of 5 that his image of music changed forever. By listening and singing to the music of Houston and Jackson, he discovered that he had the talent for singing and he said to his mother that he would like to be a star like them. Theo used his singing talent to make a name for himself and build a reputation as a singer in his native country, from singing in primary school through to high school, to competing in talent competitions, to singing and performing at national and annual events. At the age of 16, he had already written and recorded his first song/demo and wrote and recorded his second song/demo at the age of 18, both played throughout his whole native country on their national radio station, to great reviews. By the time he entered university in the United States, in 2002, Theo used this opportunity to also continue pursuing his singing career in America. He graduated from the University of South Florida in early 2006, with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Degree, with a major in International Studies and a minor in Geography. At this time; in addition to his singing talent, Theo discovered that he also mastered the art of acting and so he decided to also start pursuing an acting career. He met a few big names in both music and film, while attending a major music event, in Miami beach, a scouting event for actors (where he did a 0:30 monologue, from the character played by Michael Douglas, from a scene of the film, "Basic Instinct", and it was chosen as one of the best 90 out of 1000), in Orlando, and while completing his first two national commercials in the U.S. Theo finally moved to New York City, in December 2006, where he briefly worked with a celebrity acting coach who has worked with big names like Kevin Costner, Harrison Ford and Rene Russo, just to name a few, as well as where he auditioned for and got casted in various productions, in both film and music. After a brief stay in New York City, Theo knew it was time to move over to Los Angeles for the next big step into his singing and acting career.
