Early Life

Maren Morris is a fully bred Texas girl as she was born in the South Central state on the 10th of April 1990. Her parents are Mr. Gregory Morris and Mrs. Kellie Morris. She was raised in Arlington City as the only child of the Morris family.

Her childhood revolved around going to school, returning back to her parents’ hair saloon, and going home. Most of her time was spent at the saloon. She began towing the path of music after her father bought her a guitar at the age of twelve.

Though she received lessons from some other experienced guitarists, she became a skilled guitarist majorly by her own effort. She would often spend her free time practicing the instrument with some of her favorite songs. As she grew older, she began composing her own songs, which she sang while playing the guitar.

Maren Morris took a liking to country music and chose to major in it and began honing her singing and songwriting talents every day. Having learned a lot with time, she decided to launch her professional music career in 2005. She recorded and released the debut studio album titled, Walk On under Mozzi Blozzi Music. She was 15 at the time of the album’s release. Her next project was the single, All That It Takes, which was well received in Texas State. She followed this up with Live Wire, released in 2011.
