George Morel (born 20 September 1967 in New York) is an American DJ and record producer. He is considered "one of the central figures in the early-'90s New York garage/house scene".
Morel was born in New York City. His DJ career began in the New York clubs Red Zone, Palladium, Traxs and Save the Robots.[citation needed]
His record producing career started in 1989, when he co-wrote and co-produced Dee Halloway's single "Our Love Is Over" together with David Cole of C+C Music Factory. In 1990, he co-wrote and co-produced 2 in a Room's single "Wiggle It", reaching number one on the US Billboard Dance chart.
In 1992, Morel became the A&R vice president of the Strictly Rhythm label.[citation needed] Most of his productions during the 1990s were released on that label, among them a series of eleven 12" records called Morel's Grooves from 1992 to 1997, each 12" showcasing his Latin house sound and being quite popular and influential. As an A&R, he signed landmark dance records such as "Follow Me" by Aly-Us, "I Like to Move It" by Reel 2 Real, "Who's Been Changing Your Mind", and many other influential releases.
His chart hits include "Officer Where's Your Brother? (Get Her)" in 1995 (US Dance #17) and "Let's Groove" in 1993 (US Dance #33, UK #42).
During his career, Morel received six gold record awards, two platinum record awards and four Billboard Music Awards.
