WHAT IT IS: Oklahoma native Kylie Morgan began writing and self-releasing songs at the age of 12 and was named a “Who New to Watch” by the Country Music Association at 16. She started spending time in Nashville, where she honed her voice and polished her songwriting before signing with SMACKSongs. Under the guidance of Grammy-winning songwriters Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, Morgan released her autobiographical track, “Break Things,” which hit the Spotify U.S. and Global Viral charts. She was then selected for Amazon’s Weekly One program and was the only country artist featured in VEVO’s 2021 DSCVR class. Having toured with artists such as Dan + Shay, Little Big Town, Maren Morris, Kip Moore, Gavin DeGraw, Brett Eldredge and Billy Currington, Morgan is now working on her debut album with producers McAnally and Ben Johnson.
