   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 ten 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. 

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 amazed 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 have climbed the readers polls in various drum-magazines
recently. In 2010 Morgan was voted No.1 in Modern Drummers readers
poll in the category "fusion".

Morgan has also played with Fleshquartet, Steve Vai, Fredrik Thordendal
(of Meshuggah) Spoonman, Glenn Huges, Tony Iommi, Terry Bozzio,
Mike Keneally, Denny Walley, Kaipa, Bolon Bata, Dweezil Zappa etc.
