early life
Maren Morris is a Texas girl who was born in South Central Texas on April 10, 1990. Her parents are Mr. Gregory Morris and Mrs. Kelly Morris. She is the only child of the Morris family and grew up in Arlington.
Her childhood was spent going to school, returning to her parents’ barbershop, and returning home. She spent most of her time in the barbershop. When she was twelve years old, her father bought her a guitar, and she began her journey into music.
Although she has taken lessons from other experienced guitarists, she has become a skilled guitarist mainly through her own efforts. She often practices by playing her favorite songs in her free time. As she got older, she began to write her own songs and sing them while playing the guitar.
Maren Morris fell in love with country music and chose to major in country music and began honing her singing and songwriting talents every day. Over time, she learned a lot and decided to start her professional music career in 2005. She recorded and released her debut studio album, Walk On, on the Mozzi Blozzi Music label. She was only 15 years old when the album was released. Her next project was the single “All That It Takes”, which was well received in Texas. She followed that up with the release of Live Wire in 2011.
After the album’s success, she moved to Tennessee and settled in Nashville, Tennessee, where she began to become a songwriter and wrote many hits for other artists.

Profession
Maren Morris returns with the Maren Morris EP after four years since her last single. The five-track album was self-released on music streaming platform Spotify in August 2015. To Maren’s delight, it was well received and catapulted her to international fame. The EP received over 2.5 million streams in one month. This success brought her to the attention of top music labels, who began offering her record deals. After discussions with her management team, she was eventually signed to Columbia Nashville Records (the country music division of Sony Music Group). The label decided to re-release the EP in November 2015.
Within a few months, the EP topped two Billboard charts, and its lead single, “My Church,” received multiple radio plays in North America and Europe. The EP peaked at Nos. 1, 2, and 17 on the Top HeatSeekers Chart and Country Albums Chart, respectively. The album was certified gold by the RIAA, selling 2,400 copies in its first week.
Encouraged by the success of the EP, Maren Morris started working on another album. After spending a few months in the studio, she released Hero, which excited her fans. The album was released on June 3, 2016. A few weeks after its release, the album ranked #1 on the Top Country Albums chart and #5 on the Billboard 200 chart. As part of the success story, Hero received four nominations at the 59th Grammy Awards. She won the Best Country Solo Performance award for the single “My Church”.
To further promote the album, she embarked on a “Hero’s Tour” in 2017, visiting many American cities and towns. Her strong voice led other musicians to feature her in their projects. She appeared on Thomas Rhett’s song “Craving You” and Niall Horan’s single “Seeing Blind”. Both songs were released in 2017. She has also collaborated with other artists such as Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Vince Gill, Zedd, Grey, Brandi Carlile, Amanda Hills, and Natalie Hamby. She was one of the guest artists on Taylor Swift’s 2021 album Fearless.
In 2019, Maren Morris organized a second tour titled “Girls”. This tour was to promote her upcoming second studio album. She revealed that the album’s name was “Girls”. The tour began on March 9, 2019 and ended on August 23, 2019. She planned a third tour in 2021 titled RSVP: The Tour, but had to cancel the plans due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
She released “The Bones”, the second official single from her second studio album, in 2020. The song peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped the Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts.
Maren Morris is part of the musical collective The Highway Women, a group of four female country musicians that formed in 2019. She contributed her vocals and songwriting skills to the group’s self-titled debut album. The project was produced by ace music producer Dave Cobb and released by Elektra Records.
