This week, I interviewed one of the most amazing musicians I have ever met, multi-instrumentalist and composer Morgan Guerin. Despite being in his early 20s, Guerin has achieved widespread acclaim for his work with artists like Esperanza Spaulding and Terri Lynne Carrington and for his work on original recording projects like the Saga I, II, and III.

Since moving to New York City from Atlanta in 2016, Morgan has become one of the most important voices in a music scene that is awash with talent from around the world. In this interview, we discuss the music scene in New York, Guerin’s musical roots in Atlanta and New Orleans, building a thriving career in the midst of a pandemic, and new work that Guerin plans to release this year.
