Morris Hayes and Co-Founder of Icon Collective, David Alexander, met in 1988 as Morris was leaving for Minneapolis to join Prince's band. David Alexander spent 2 weeks studying under Morris and preparing to fill his shoes as keyboardist for the Austin Band, "The Bizness." It was the beginning of their careers as future musicians, artists and producers. Twenty years later, Morris Hayes and David Alexander reunite to bring Icon Collective the most innovative approach to music production, enabling young aspiring artists to live creative, artistic lifestyles.
