Biography

Morgan was born on August 6, 1960 in Huntington, New York to parents Patricia and Alfred Carey. According to PGI.com, Morgan was born with cerebral palsy which gave him grand mal and petit mal seizures. When he was eight, Morgan converted to vegetarianism after his father returned home from a hunting trip with a deer strapped to the family station wagon. The horrific image triggered a moral outrage in Morgan at such a core level that he swore off meat forever. Morgan would grow up bearing witness to some of the racist attacks/discrimination that his parents would endure such as having their dogs poisoned and having a gun shot through their window by angry neighbors upset about the mixed race couple's relationship. The discrimination that the couple endured led to their divorce when Morgan was around 13 years old in 1973. During the mid to late 1980s, Morgan would become a model; doing some work with an Italian modeling agency and with photographers like Leonardo Maniscalchi. Before Mariah's debut in 1990, Morgan was already a celebrated fitness trainer in Los Angeles and had been featured in numerous Men's Fitness Magazine spreads. He would then go on to become a musical producer playing a instrumental role in creating artists such as QUO, the first act signed to Michael Jackson's label MJJ which included Wade Robson of So You Think You Can Dance fame.. Other artists that Morgan has worked with include:  Lil Rachett and Korean Reggae artist "Skull." As of 2020, Morgan lives in Florence, Italy. He has also started a company named "Victorious Green, that works with agricultural products/produce." He is a devoted to Tai Chi, permaculture, and a sustainable lifestyle. 

Lawsuit & The Meaning of Mariah Carey

On March 3, 2021, it was reported that Morgan is suing Mariah over the claims made in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. In legal documents he has stated "Mariah damaged his reputation when she wrote about an allegedly violent struggle he had with their father, and an alleged attack against their mother."

According to the suit, Mariah's autobiography includes a passage that reads "It took twelve cops to pull my brother and father apart. The big bodies of men, all entangled like a swirling hurricane, crashed loudly into the living room. I was a little girl with very few memories of a big brother who protected me. More often, I felt I had to protect myself from him, and sometimes I would find myself protecting my mother from him too." Morgan states that her description of the struggle paints him as a violent man, he claims actual fights with his father never happened when Mariah was a child. In any event, he says there's no way 12 cops would respond to a domestic violence report.

Additionally, Mariah's book also alleges "Suddenly there was a loud, sharp noise, like an actual gunshot. My brother had pushed my mother with such force that her body slammed into the wall, making a loud cracking sound." Morgan claims this is also false, he claims many people have witnessed the "deep affection" between him and his mother -- and he adds, Mariah contradicted herself later in the book when she recounted her mother once saying, "Morgan is the only one I love."

Like his sister, Morgan is suing Mariah for emotional distress. He is also suing for defamation.
