John Morgan’s journey to country stardom is the stuff of movies are made of. While chasing his dreams from small-town Sylva, North Carolina, a chance connection through an Uber driver led his music to Jason Aldean. Not long after, John got a life-changing call—Aldean himself offering him a record and publishing deal. Now, with his debut album Carolina Blue out, John shares deeply personal stories through his songs. One standout, “Kid Myself,” reflects on the painful choice to leave behind everything he knew—his family, family business, his hometown and hometown love, plus the comfort of small-town life—for the unknown in Nashville. Today, he’s married with three kids under three and living a life that once felt like a dream. His story is proof that taking a leap of faith can lead to something truly incredible.
