Soulful singer and songwriter, Morgan James will be releasing her debut album Morgan James Live (Epic Records) on December 4th. Recorded at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, an intimate jazz club nestled within New York City’s Time Warner Center, the album features James’s stirring renditions of standards from the repertoire of Nina Simone.
James studied opera at Juilliard, and while the rigorous conservatory training went a long way in refining her vocals and building her remarkable range, she ultimately abandoned opera to pursue musical theater. Thanks to her unshakeable dedication and ingenuity, she soon worked her way onto the stage of some of the city’s most legendary clubs–and into prominent roles in Broadway productions like Godspell and Wonderland.
