FreshMusicWorld: How do your personal experiences shape your music?
Morgan Taylor: My personal life, girl talk with my friends, and things going on in the world really inspire my creativity! When I find a beat, I mean that perfect beat, that’s when things start flowing. I pull my ideas from journal entries. I want the lyrics to feel confessional. As if you are looking over my shoulder at what I’ve written, what I feel, and where I’m coming from.
FreshMusicWorld: Who was your first major musical mentor, and what did you learn from them?
Morgan Taylor: I would say the First Lady at my old church, Minister Kathy Horry. She taught me so much in the very beginning of my musical journey — from the basics of piano to learning how to control and understand my voice. She was also right there with me in the studio when I recorded my first EP, Yes, Jesus Loves Me. Her guidance shaped the foundation of who I am as an artist today.
FreshMusicWorld: What’s the story behind your favorite song you’ve written?
