Chanteur
Country US né Morgan Cole Wallen, le 13 Mai 1993 à Sneedville (Tennessee).
Morgan
Wallen is a singer/songwriter with a taste for all sorts of music, from classic
rock to hip-hop, and has a voice that points straight to country. Wallen first
made a name for himself in 2014 as a competitor on the televised talent
competition The Voice and enjoyed a major career breakthrough in 2017 when he
teamed up with Florida
Georgia Line for the hit song "Up Down."
Wallen was born in Sneedville, Tennessee, on May 13, 1993, and he grew up in the
Knoxville area. His father was a preacher who loved the bombast of hard rock,
while his mother was a teacher whose tastes ran to contemporary Christian sounds. Wallen developed
a strong interest in music at a very young age; he started singing in church
when he was three years old and took up the violin when he was five. He later
learned to play piano and guitar, but in high school his passion was baseball,
pitching for the team at Gibbs High School in Corryton, Tennessee. Wallen was
good enough to earn offers to play college ball on a scholarship, but late in
his senior year, an elbow injury put an end to his days as a pitcher, and he
began considering music as a career.
In February 2014, Wallen became a competitor on the popular televised singing
competition The Voice, blind auditioning for the judges with the song "Collide"
by Howie Day. Usher liked Wallen's performance, and Morgan joined his team.
After the second Battle Round, Wallen was
stolen by Adam
Levine's team, but Morgan was
eliminated in the playoffs. The Voice gave Wallen nationwide exposure, but it also helped him find a collaborator; Sergio
Sánchez of the band Atom
Smash was a vocal coach on the show, and the two began writing songs
together that suited Wallen's
country voice and rock & roll attitude. He moved to Nashville, where he and Sánchez formed
a short-lived band, Morgan
Wallen & Them Shadows.
After settling in Music City, Wallen landed
a manager and an agent, as well as a publishing deal with Big Loud Shirt Music.
After placing his songs with a number of up-and-coming artists, Big Loud's
record label, Big Loud Music, gave Wallen a
chance to record as a solo act, and he went on a tour of radio stations to get
back in shape for performing. In 2016, he made an impression on the radio with
his tune "The Way I Talk," and a five-song EP featuring the track soon followed.
In 2017, he collaborated with Florida
Georgia Line on the single "Up Down," which made the Top Ten of the Country
Singles charts and earned a gold record. The song became the leadoff track on Wallen's
first full-length album, If
I Know Me, which was released in April 2018. He returned in 2019 with the
single "This Bar," and again in early 2020 with "More Than My Hometown," the
latter of which was the first single from his forthcoming sophomore long-player Dangerous:
The Double Album.
