Today we’d like to introduce you to Morgan Jones.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Before I was a Christian contemporary singer/songwriter I was just singing chillwave songs about being heartbroken. My sound was sweet and dark, but people loved it. It was to a point where I got the attention of famous XXX tension to want to do a collab with me with the infamous song I made in 2016 Sad shawty. I only found this out after doing Christian music and getting DMs from random strangers that wanted to find out our messages that I couldn’t even see once my Twitter was hacked. & once I switched over somehow everything I ever made online was taken down. God’s plan huh?
What led me to wanted to use my artistic abilities was me being in a situation where I was in a deep depression that was too hard for me to dig out of on my own, at the time I was struggling to make ends meet and become a webcam model… making my dark music that made me even more depressed… almost felt like I was selling my soul… & I didn’t know the demons I was bringing into my life.
One day I was fed up with the anxiety and went to church one day and took an altar call that changed my life. I knew what I was doing wasn’t my calling even if it was getting me ahead. So, I decided to leave it all behind & changed my life over to God. For a whole year, I didn’t do music because I wasn’t sure if God wanted me to do that anymore after all the dark things I was singing bout. I just was so focused on pleasing him, reading my bible, trying not curse, being overly nice, etc.
Then one day, God said to use what I have. So, I started writing again… this time about God and my heartbreak for the world and knowing only God can heal that.
That’s where my EP Angelpop Vol 1 came about. I was so afraid that it wouldn’t make an impact as my last music did but God surprised me. Now, I get messages every day from people saying they don’t know how much my music helps them from a dark place. I’m grateful for my talent, though the Christian walk is not the easier walk to take I’m glad I’m doing it.
Has it been a smooth road?
Some of my struggles and obstacles is going through a recent divorce with taking care of my 3-year-old son by myself trying to make ends while still pursuing ministry and being tempted to be like the old artist used to be.
We’d love to hear more about Angelpop Vol 1.

Biggest barriers is being consistent after being knocked down even by other Christians or traditional Christians not play at those venues because it’s not the typical sound.
