Born and raised in the small town of Sneedville, Tennessee upcoming country music artist Morgan Wallen never thought his dream would come true.
In 2014 he was a member of Adam Levine's team on NBC's season 6 of "The Voice" but was eliminated in the battle rounds. After his elimination, he decided to keep pursuing his dream and signed with Nashville based Big Loud Records in 2016. Shortly after he released his debut single The Way I Talk which skyrocketed him up the charts.
Shortly after his huge success with his debut single Morgan teamed up with country music artists Bryan Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida-Georgia Line to release Up Down. Up Down proved to be successful as it landed Wallen his first No. 1 single atop the country music charts in 2017.
To many Wallen's instance success surprised a lot of people in Nashville, and his popularity kept growing into 2018. In April of 2018, he released his first album If I Know Me. The album features now many radio hits such as Gone Girl and my personal favorite Whiskey Glasses.
His upbeat rhythms and catchy lyrics come unmatched to those upcoming artists who have had success in the country music industry over the last couple of years. Personally, I have seen him in concert and he is a great act live. He will be headlining his first ever show at the Georgia Theater in downtown Athens January 25th. I highly recommend buying a ticket because you will not upset.
