Morack on Music, Message, and Making His Own Way

There’s a calm honesty to Morack that’s hard to fake. The Port Harcourt-raised singer doesn’t need theatrics or flash, his music speaks clearly enough. Whether he’s writing from a place of pain, love, confusion, or hope, Morack is all heart. He’s not chasing vibes; he’s chasing truth.

“Music was my place of acceptance,” he tells me. “It was always there for me at any point in time.” It’s more than just something he does. It’s something he is. That deep connection goes all the way back to age 13, when he wrote his first few lines and everyone around him responded like he’d just cracked open something special. “That was the sign,” he laughs. “I knew I had to keep going.”

Now, with tracks like Call My Name, he’s doing exactly that—telling stories that feel real and rooted in experience. “That one? It was an expression of a trenches love,” he says. “I was thinking about a street Port Harcourt boy in love and just expressing that love. Everybody deserves love, so why not?” It’s vulnerable, romantic, and raw, the kind of song that feels like a quiet confession whispered through speakers.

Morack’s upbringing adds even more layers to his sound. He’s got roots in the North, family ties to the West, but his formative years were spent in Port Harcourt. “I didn’t really grow up in the North or connect with it like that,” he explains. “But I link the western culture to my sound, my language too.” His music reflects that mix: part homegrown grit, part emotional soul, part spiritual compass.

Ask him what drives his songs, vibes or message—and he’s quick with an answer: “Both, but more message. I hardly just do vibes.” That message isn’t always loud or in-your-face. Sometimes it’s in the way he creates space for feeling. “When people are lost or feel rejected, I want them to find a home with my sound,” he says. That’s the Morack effect.

His track Hopes is the one he’d recommend to first-timers. “Yeah, I’d like to motivate them first,” he grins. The song feels like a mirror for anyone who’s felt stuck, small, or unsure of the next step. If Call My Name is the love song, Hopes is the lifeline.

When it comes to making music, Morack doesn’t box himself in. Some days, the beat guides him. Other days, he freestyles or writes based on how he feels in that moment. “Sometimes my head, heart or emotions just take control,” he says. “Not every song gets released, and that’s okay. Sometimes I’m just painting.”

His influences? “Too many to mention,” he laughs. But he does mention one song he wishes he wrote: Bibanke by Asa. “It’s just a good song. The lyrics, the structure, everything.”

Outside the studio, he’s still writing. Always writing. “Just off the top of my head, no beat, no nothing.” It’s the same outlet that keeps him grounded when the pressure’s high or when life gets heavy.

As for what’s next, Morack keeps it simple: “More music, more stories to tell, more emotions to pour out.” Visuals, performances, and probably a few more emotional sucker punches in song form. You’ve been warned.

Before we wrapped, we asked what he’d say to his future self in a voice note five years from now. His answer? “Always try to find a way.”

That’s Morack: no drama, just determination. He’s not here to impress—he’s here to connect. And in an industry that often rewards noise, he’s choosing honesty. That, in itself, is something worth turning up.
