Megan Moroney

Megan Moroney was raised in Douglasville, Georgia, and comes from a musical household. She describes her brand as "emo cowgirl," pouring her heart out in her songs.

She initially set her sights on a career in accounting at the University of Georgia, but music always held a strong pull. After opening for Chase Rice at a local concert her freshman year, Moroney realized she'd found her true passion. She decided to drop out, but her parents nixed that idea, so she graduated before moving to Nashville. Moroney studied digital marketing and music business, which came in handy when she turned pro as a musician.

During her college years, Moroney landed an internship with Kristian Bush of Sugarland and his brother Brandon. When she moved to Nashville after completing her degree, Kristian checked in and helped her record some demos. He recognized Moroney's talent and became her producer.
