ONErpm Nashville has signed burgeoning country artist and modern-day traditionalist William Michael Morgan, who’ll be releasing a Keith Stegall–produced EP later this year. Morgan earned a #1 single in 2016 with “I Met a Girl,” which was ultimately certified gold. The song helped Morgan secure a Top 5 placement on the Country Albums chart for his debut album Vinyl. Since then, the Mississippi native has been touring the country and releasing music that remains true to his Vicksburg roots.

“It is an honor to be teaming up with ONErpm,” Morgan said. “Tim Wipperman, Ryan Cunningham and the team there really believe in the kind of music we are making.”

He added his new music “is something I’ve been working toward my whole career. All the ups and downs, the growth and learning—you can hear it all in this new music, the majority of which I have written as a result of my own life lessons.”

Cunningham, ONErpm's A&R director of country music, noted, “William Michael Morgan has had an amazing career so far. We believe in him as an artist, and we’re excited to see how high he can climb with this new music.”

Morgan, who’s already amassed more than 100m on-demand streams, is managed by Joe Carter and Mike Taliaferro of Carter and Company, while booking is handled by The Kinkead Entertainment Agency.
