His signature style merges the emotional weight of orchestral scoring with the raw energy of hip hop, R&amp;B, and electronic music—pulling listeners into stories with precision and power.Based in Chicago, Deciius is the founder of Apex Music and Sound, a music house delivering custom scores and sound design for top-tier clients in the ad, film, TV, and game industries.Rob "Diggy" Morrison is a Grammy®-recognized composer and arranger, honored by The Recording Academy for his contribution to Beyoncé’s Grammy Award-winning remix of "Crazy in Love."With an ear for emotion and a gift for storytelling, Morrison has become one of the most respected composers in television and film. As the lead composer for Seasons 4, 5, and 6 of Carl Weber’s The Family Business on BET+, his cinematic soundscapes have defined the series’ intensity and heart. His musical reach extends across Netflix, Tubi, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, NBC, and PBS — where his compositions bring depth, drama, and elegance to every frame.In 2025, Morrison received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the HBCU Hall of Fame at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in the Media and Entertainment category. His influence continues to resonate through covers on Courageous Men Magazine, The Indie Post, HardCore Grind, and E.G.O. Magazine — and through his distinction as one of the Top 10 Men to Watch in 2025.Known affectionately in the industry as "The Sixth Man of Music," Rob "Diggy" Morrison’s legacy is one of creativity, consistency, and cultural impact — a composer who doesn’t just score scenes, but scores the soul of every story he touches.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/f7d9e2f0-0ce2-11f1-a8a2-8fecd824cacd-rimg-w1200-h731-dceeeeee-gmir.jpg Chicago, IL 60661Limited street parking is available.CTA access: Green &amp; Pink lines, exit at Clinton StationMetra access: Union StationBus stops are nearby along Randolph, Washington, and Canal.
