98.5 KYGO

Most fans know Morgan Wallen for gritty vocals, the guitar and sold-out stadium stages. What many don’t realize is that the guitar was actually the last instrument he learned — and he didn’t pick it up until he was 18!

At age three, he was already singing at his father’s church, and by age five, Morgan asked for a violin for Christmas! He started formal lessons and two years later, he added piano to the mix!
