His first album, Dreams and Other Living Things, featuring Jerry Marotta, Tony Levin, David Sancious, Lisa Frazier, Daya Rawat and Chambers Brothers was released in 2015. Paul Zollo, Senior Editor of American Songwriter reviewed it as, "An absolute masterpiece. An album for the ages."

His film career began in 1987 with the Stuart Gordon film, Dolls,[1] and he is still active in the industry today. He has worked on films with people such as Philip Haas, Damian Lewis, Stuart Gordon, John Slattery, Will Gluck, Richard Band, Charles Band, Chris Bauer, Tom Stern, Pam Brady, Dyan Cannon, Currie Graham, Sasha Jenson, Michael Couto and Kyle McCulloch. Morse, despite having many titles to his name, is often credited alongside others such as Richard Band, etc. and therefore hasn't always had as much attention from the media as his collaborators. Dolls is known for having sparked off several 'Killer Doll' franchises (collections of films such as Chucky and the Puppetmaster series with their many sequels), along with Ghoulies II, the second in a series of four films about wild, little demons conjured with black magic. Fuzzbee Morse is still working in music, film and television and performs often around Los Angeles.

Improv comedy music

Morse performs as part of The Flying Fannoli Brothers, an acclaimed improv comedy band, along with Nick Jameson and Gary Anthony Williams. They've been performing together since 1998. He's also performed with long-running comedy troupe Off the Wall and such accomplished comedians/improv actors as Rick Overton, Paul Dooley, Paul Willson, Ryan Stiles and Dan Aykroyd.
