About
Hi, I’m John Challis. Aka 'Morf'.
Originally from London, my musical journey began during childhood; performing in the streets of Europe, Australia and the UK, and falling in love with connecting through music. Since then, I’ve performed worldwide at luxury venues, corporate events, and on shows like Good Morning America, ESPN, and Disney.
As the founder of Morf Music, I’ve built a reputation for creating personalized, heartfelt performances. I’m also proud to be Virgin Voyages’ most celebrated soloist, performing aboard their luxury cruise ships.
With over a decade of global experience, I bring a richness that resonates across all cultures and traditions, ensuring every moment feels personal and meaningful.
Don't settle for boring acoustic soloists, let me liven up your event today!
Additional Booking Notes
I am fully self contained; mixing all my elements with professional sound equipment
I am expandable/flexible; I can either send every element of my sound individually to a master sound engineer (larger venues), or a simple stereo mix for simpler faster setups
I am portable; i have worked a plethora of street based festivals and have developed a full stage sound I can take anywhere: professional PA equipment ran off batteries for up to 7 hours at a time.
I am compact; being a solo musician with the sound of a full band, I can fit in small spaces for events where space is of concern; no longer will you just have to use a Spotify playlist.
