Morgan James
"A phenomenal talent whose feel for classic soul
music is bone deep...This woman is on fire." -- The New York Times
Morgan
James is a Juilliard trained singer, actress, songwriter and recording artist
in New York City.
Morgan recently co-produced and starred in an
all-female concept recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar" entitled "She Is
Risen". She independently released her
studio albums of original soul music, entitled Memphis Magnetic, and A Very Magnetic Christmas recorded to
analog tape in Memphis, Tennessee. Other
albums include "Reckless Abandon", which prompted the Huffington Post
to call MJ the "Brightest Breakout Artist of the Year". Last year,
Morgan took on a full album cover of the Beatles' iconic 'White Album' to
celebrate the 50th anniversary; available on CD, vinyl, digital and full length
concept video on her YouTube channel.
She also took on Joni Mitchell's "Blue" and covered it in its entirety. Morgan recorded two full-length albums with
Epic Records: "Hunter", an album of original R&B, and "Morgan James Live, a
celebration of Nina Simone". All of her
music can be found on all streaming platforms, and hard copies on her website
or at shows.
On Broadway, Morgan was in five back-to-back
original companies: The Addams Family
(starring Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth), Wonderland,
Godspell and Motown: The Musical, and as a guest at Kristin Chenoweth's For The Girls.
With viral sensation Postmodern Jukebox and with
her own YouTube channel, Morgan's music videos have accumulated more than 260
million views (and climbing).
