Creating a collection of danceable, relatable and memorable songs, morgxn continues to move seamlessly between the alternative and pop worlds.

MORGXN

After releasing his evocative debut album vitalin May 2018, morgxn found himself experiencing a reaction he’d never anticipated. “All of a sudden, there are so many people connecting with who I am and what I’m saying and what I’m going through. I’m not alone,” recalls the Los Angeles-based musician.

2018 brought a series of new milestones for morgxn, all in quick succession. He found himself at Lollapalooza, peering out at the throngs of fans who had packed in to catch his afternoon set where he duetted with Walk the Moon frontman Nicholas Petricca on a new rendition of his rafters-reaching song “home.” The two re-recorded the track and released a video in September, sending the song into the top 10 at alternative radio and adult alternative while accruing upwards of over 25 million combined global streams. This past January, morgxn made his late-night TV debut performing “home” on Jimmy Kimmel Liveand Last Call with Carson Daly.

Still experiencing feelings of loss, as well as bouts of anxiety , morgxn realized that he needed to cast off these shadows by creating new music. “Vitaljust sat in my heart like a weight and then releasing that,” he recalls, “I wanted to find a new way forward. And the only way to do that was keep moving forward blindly, and make music.”

The songs that followed capture an artist coming to terms with who he is as a person, and how he hopes to navigate life. In late March, he released the deeply visceral “Holy Water,” a plea to release him from the burdens that he found himself saddled with. “Holy water falling, falling down on me / Take the load off, take it all from me,” he sings, his tender falsetto ricocheting against the stomping percussion and bleary synthesizers.

If “Holy Water” was an attempt to shed his skin, “A New Way” strikes a more optimistic tone, dreaming of a path that exists out of anxiety. The song plays as an uplifting meditation on the possibility of where life can take you. “I want to do things in a different way,” he says of the inspiration that struck him while recording it. “I want to make music that is real and have that be enough. Have it not be about how hot you are, how cool you are or how much of an asshole you are. What about somebody’s heart and that being art — and that being enough?”

morgxn’s main focus now is moving on from the past, and allowing life to lead him where it will. “‘home’ was this big moment where a lot of big things happened, and it comes with pressure of where do you go next?” he says. “Rather than letting that question eat me alive, I just dove off the nearest cliff. Released all pressure. All I did was make new music and now I can’t wait to see where it takes me.”
