His Age and Early Life
Morgan Wallen was born on May 13, 1993, in Sneedville, Tennessee. Belonging to Tennessee, the most famous place for country music explains why Wallen has such a connection with the country music culture. You can not gauge from his dialect that he belongs to Tennessee but when it comes to his songs and work you cannot agree with the fact that the songs come mingled with Tennessee’s country song culture.

Soon after Wallen’s career path changed to music when his dad gifted him a guitar. Wallen used to buy the chord notes from Walmart and self-learn the chords on the guitar by looking at the notes. Soon after when he started catching up on the notes he started putting words alongside the chord notes and that was when the music star was created.
His Career
