“A phenomenal talent whose feel for classic soul music is bone deep…This woman is on fire.” -The New York Times

Morgan James has a voice that needs to be heard; even when she was just a fifth grader belting out standards on a karaoke machine. After her grandmother heard her sing, the matriarch footed the bill for James’ voice lessons, positive that her granddaughter had the mysterious “it factor”. And, despite the sometimes treacherous terrain of the music industry, James has never tired in her quest. Whether it’s tussling with label executives, covering and owning songs by the likes of the Beatles or Prince, or creating her own brand of original soul music, James has carved out an enviable and diverse career, always on her own terms.
