Morgan Dawson

June's #LetTheGirlsPlay artist was born singing, almost literally. Morgan Dawson was raised in Longview, Texas and is a very proud (as you'll soon see) Longhorn. At age five she tried to find a vocal teacher but kept striking out because no one would take her seriously. Then finally, someone did — and holy cow did it pay off.

Morgan Dawson is a classic songwriter, but she's been blessed with a voice that will make you wreck your lipstick if you're applying when she starts to sing. On the stage, all the emotions she wants to express off the stage come pouring out. She seizes the opportunity to say what she should have said ... then.

Morgan Dawson's song "Kiss Me Hello" began as three words in her iPhone. That's not unusual — she'll find inspiration in strange places and jot down raw titles or concepts to bring to songwriting meetings. What is unusual about this great mid-tempo love song is that it came so easily for her and her two co-writers. Listen to June's #LetTheGirlsPlay artist plead for the perfect hello kiss during this exclusive performance video.
