Cân i Gymru winner and reggae artist Morgan Elwy is gearing up for a change of genre as he prepares to drop his newest single.

Amser Da (Good Time), Morgan’s first ever Ska single filled with positivity, has been released this week, just in time for Spring sunshine.

Upbeat, punchy, and bursting of feel-good energy and harmonising vocals, the track marks a fresh twist on his signature sound.

The single is part of his upcoming album, Amser Da mewn Amser Drwg, with more tracks landing over the next few months.

Hailing from north Wales, Morgan is known for his Welsh-language music blending dub, roots and blues influences with messages of peace, positivity and identity.

A former physics teacher who turned fully to music in 2021, he has quickly built a name through festival performances, radio play, and award-winning releases — including winning Cân i Gymru in 2021.

Performing both as part of a band and an MC, he has hit stages at the National Eisteddfod, Tafwyl, Wilkswood Reggae festivals, and Newport Reggae & Riddim.

Alongside the band, he has supported the likes of Gentlemens Dub Club, The Skatalities, Queen Omega, Dafydd Iwan and Under Cover Hippy.

Amser Da, released under Bryn Rock Records, will be available to stream and purchase from 16 April 2026. Follow Morgan on Facebook and Instagram for more updates.
