Maren Morris, although only 17, has been performing live for more than six years and recorded her first CD at age 14. She also writes her own music and plays guitar in her own band. Her style transcends Rock, Country, Blues and Pop styles, with soulful vocals that invite yet defy comparison to current and past musical performers. Maren attended the first ever Grammy Camp, presented by the Recording Academy, as the only Texas artist invited among 43 students from across the nation. The Camp teamed her with other songwriters, musicians and music industry greats such as producers David Foster and Paul Williams. Maren has been paying her dues for years and is finally earning the respect of her peers and others across the music industry. Those who might once have viewed her as a novelty must now reckon with the fact that she has grown in all areas of music; her poignant writing, searing vocals and solid rhythm guitar have all come of age.
