Wanyá Jermaine Morris (born July 29, 1973) is an American singer, best known as a member of the R&B group Boyz II Men. He competed on the twenty-second season of Dancing with the Stars. In 1987, Morris, who sang in the school's choir along with the members of Boyz II Men (then called Unique Attraction), joined the group and became a permanent member as a freshman. After signing to Motown in 1991, they released their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony. Boyz II Men would quickly start to climb music charts with songs such as "I'll Make Love to You" (1994) and "Water Runs Dry" (1995). In 1996, the group released the single "One Sweet Day" with Mariah Carey. Boyz II Men are best known for their vocal harmonies. Morris sings tenor vocals in the group. After the success of "I'll Make Love to You", the same year, Morris appeared in the group Black Men United, performing with Boyz II Men for the single "U Will Know", which originally featured on the Jason's Lyric soundtrack written by future neo soul musician D'Angelo and produced by Brian McKnight. Morris was announced as one of the celebrities who would compete on season 22 of Dancing with the Stars on March 8, 2016. He was partnered with professional dancer Lindsay Arnold. Morris and Arnold made it to the semifinals of the show, but were then eliminated and finished the competition in fourth place overall, despite having the highest accumulative average at the time of their elimination. Additional television and film appearances include: the music documentary film Happy on the Ground (2013), The Odd Couple (2016), Whose Line is it Anyway? (2017), Hollywood Darlings (2017), To Tell the Truth (2017), Long Shot (2019) and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune (2021). Morris appeared in the Christmas special, A Very Boy Band Holiday, in December 2021. He also performed during I Can See Your Voice in March 2022. Morris married Traci Nash in 2002. They have six children together, including four sons who are in a R&B boy band called WanMor, and two daughters. Morris married Amber Reyes in 2019 without being legally divorced from Traci. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Boyz II Men member Shawn Stockman attended the wedding. Source: Article "Wanya Morris" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
