At an early age, he adopted the straight edge lifestyle, having grown up in an environment where drugs were very prominent in his life and family.

Morris dropped out of high school to pursue his music career, originally supposed to graduate in 1996.

His most notable tattoos were "Lifeless" across his knuckles, paying tribute to a fellow SLC band, and a portrait of Dimebag Darrell on his calf done by Kat Von D (which was briefly shown on the show Miami Ink).

When Morris moved to California, he held a job at Paul Frank from 2000 until 2003 (when Eighteen Visions became a full-time band).

Clear (originally XclearX) was a straight edge hardcore band from the mid 1990s out of Salt Lake City.

After that tour, Mick announced that it was his turn to part ways with the band, mostly for musical differences and stating that they were not really writing songs anymore.

Six months later, he got a phone call from singer James Hart asking him if he wanted to join the band as bass player.

[citation needed] Morris filled in on bass for Bleeding Through during 2002 for their record Portrait of the Goddess album.

He was working for shockhound (a part of Hot Topic) and he sold clothes as well as occasionally his old equipment on eBay and craigslist.

A couple of months after the breakup of Eighteen Visions, Dethless seemed to be finished before it really took off due to personal and financial restraints.

On February 21, 2009, Mick announced via MySpace that Dethless Clothing is back in full swing starting with pre-orders on April 1, 2009.
