Big Loud Records has signed its second artist, Morgan Wallen. The Sneedville, Tennessee, native began performing for his local church congregation at age 3, and later developed a love of country, rock and hip-hop music.
Wallen’s five-song EP debut, featuring the young artist’s first single, “The Way I Talk,” was released on iTunes and Spotify on Friday (July 29).
He moved to Nashville in 2015 and began co-writing with songwriters including Craig Wiseman, Rodney Cawson, Chris Tompkins, the Warren Brothers, Tommy Cecil, and Matt Dragstrem. Big Loud Records’ first signing was Chris Lane (“Fix”).
“We’re so excited to have Morgan and his entire family be a part of the Big Loud family,” says label President Clay Hunnicutt. “His distinctive voice, undeniable talent and great character caught us all from the very first meeting. He can capture and deliver a song as only few can. We can’t wait to deliver it to the world.”
