In 1987, Morris, who sang in the school's choir along with the members of Boyz II Men (then called Unique Attraction), joined the group and became a permanent member as a freshman.

In 1996, the group released the single "One Sweet Day" with Mariah Carey. Boyz II Men are best known for their vocal harmonies. Morris sings tenor vocals in the group. After the success of "I'll Make Love to You", the same year, Morris appeared in the group Black Men United, performing with Boyz II Men for the single "U Will Know", which originally featured on the Jason's Lyric soundtrack written by future neo soul musician D'Angelo and produced by Brian McKnight.
