Disney’s Descendants: The Rise Of Red breakout star is having one of her busiest years to date with the release of her record-breaking movie! Not only captivating on-camera, Morgan’s undeniable presence continues to be unmatched on any stage she finds herself. Whether on Broadway or belting the National Anthem at a New York Knick’s playoff game, Morgan is the definition of a multi-hyphenate superstar. Along with the continued success of the film, Morgan will also be releasing her own original music in August! After first breaking viewing records for the film’s trailer and now breaking streaming viewership records for Disney+ as reported by Deadline, Descendants: The Rise Of Red follows Red and Chloe, daughters of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella respectively, as they travel back in time to thwart an imminent coup. In the film, Morgan brings to life Ella, a young Cinderella who must team up with her time traveling daughter from the future for the sake of Auradon and the Wonderland Kingdom. While Morgan continues her acting journey, she is also simultaneously working on her music career, crafting original songs that will resonate with her growing fanbase. Drawing inspiration from the careers of icons like Ariana Grande and Zendaya, Morgan’s pop-infused sound, enriched with acoustic elements, promises to leave a lasting impression on listeners worldwide when her first song is released in late August. Morgan’s upbringing in Hiram, Georgia was steeped in the melodies of Alanis Morissette, setting the stage for her musical aspirations. Even before she was born, her mother sang karaoke renditions of “Jagged Little Pill,” igniting a connection to the musical that would give her the opportunity of a lifetime. At only 20 years old, Morgan made the bold leap to New York City, where she secured a coveted role in the acclaimed Broadway production of Jagged Little Pill. This transformative experience molded her into the fearless performer and confident artist that she is today. When Morgan is not busy prepping for roles, writing and recording music or hitting the stage, she can be found spending time with her friends in NYC, spending time with family in her home state, and checking in on the latest fashion trends as a budding fashionista herself! When Morgan is not busy on set, auditioning, preparing for a role, working on her music or honing her vocal skills, she can be found splitting time between New York, Los Angeles and Georgia whenever she can. Morgan also likes to stay active by taking dance classes and is obsessed with all things skincare and fashion.
