Morgan James - Texas Tech Presidential Lecture and Performance Series

Morgan James is a Juilliard trained singer, songwriter, actress and recording artist in New York City. 

Morgan is currently on tour supporting her 6th studio album, Soul Remains the Same: a concept album of heavy rock tunes from the 80s and 90s through a feminine soul lens. She independently released her studio albums of original soul music, entitled Nobody’s Fool, 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." In addition to her original music, Morgan co-produced and starred in an all-female concept recording of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Morgan has taken on full album covers of the Beatles’ iconic ‘White Album’, Joni Mitchell’s Blue, Jeff Buckley’s Grace, and many more. Morgan recorded two full-length albums with Epic Records: Hunter 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.
