Morgan Ågren has been a drummer since age four and a Grammy winning musician on both sides of the Atlantic. Born in Umeå, Sweden in 1967, Mr. Ågren was spotted as an outstanding talent at a young age as he began performing publicly at age seven, and eventually joined forces with 10 year old blind keyboardist Mats Öberg in 1981. In 1988, still around their late teens, Morgan and Mats got invited to play with Frank Zappa for a few different projects in the US - just before Zappa passed away. They later formed Zappsteetoot together in 1984, a band internationally known for performing Zappa's music.
While some of the Zappa influence remains, Morgan and Mats have long since found their own voices. In the mid 90’s,
they began releasing CDs on Morgan’s label Ultimate Audio Entertainment, eventually forming a stable band, which has been amazing audiences in Europe, Asia and the USA since
2001.
With superb playing ability, the Mats/Morgan Band is a well-honed, cohesive unit, arriving at its own voice in progressive jazz/rock. Mats/Morgan Band is an absolutely monsterous
band who await the world’s discovery! Morgan has also played with Fleshquartet/Fläskkvartetten, Steve Vai, Fredrik Thordendal (of Meshuggah) Spoonman, Glen Huges, Tony Iommi,
Terry Bozzio, Mike Keneally, Denny Walley, Kaipa, Bolon Bata, Dweezil Zappa etc.
