Morgxn (Morgan Karr) is an indie pop star who shines brightly in the music world. Born in Nashville, the singer-songwriter has a great musical background. Morgan began singing at a very young age and writing music as early as age 9. After college, he was a part of the original Broadway cast of Spring Awakening, serving as an understudy. He then moved to LA to make music and released his debut album vital in May 2018, through wxnderlost/Hollywood Records.

vital features his breakout single “home,” which has raked in over 8 million streams on Spotify. In August 2018, Morgxn was joined by Nicholas Petricca of WALK THE MOON at Lollapalooza in Chicago to perform the song together. They ended up re-recording the song and releasing the duet in September 2018. Morgxn and Nicholas’ version of “home” is exploding on alternative radio stations nationwide! Last month, Morgxn made his debut on late night TV, performing “me without you” on Jimmy Kimmel Live and “home” with Nicholas.

Morgxn has recently released a 5-track EP titled vital: blue, which is available on streaming services. It features stripped-down versions of songs from vital, including a stripped version of “home.”
