I loko o kāna hana, ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ʻelua mau mele kūleʻa i komo i ka Billboard 200 kiʻekiʻe. Ma 2020 hoʻi, ua loaʻa ka mea pena i ka makana New Artist of the Year mai ka Country Music Association (USA).
ʻO ke kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio ʻo Morgan Wallen
ʻO Morgan Cole Wallen ka inoa piha o ka mea hoʻokani. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia ma Mei 13, 1993 ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo US ʻo Snedville (Tennessee). ʻO ka makua kāne o ka mea pena (Tommy Wallen) he kahuna pule, a ʻo kona makuahine (Leslie Wallen) he kumu. Ua makemake ka ʻohana i nā mele, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mele Kalikiano hou. ʻO ia ke kumu i ka makahiki 3 ua hoʻouna ʻia ke keikikāne e hīmeni i kahi papa mele Kalikiano. A i ka makahiki 5 ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e aʻo i ka hoʻokani pila. I kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua ʻike mua ʻo Morgan i ka hoʻokani pila a me ka piano.
Wahi a ka mea hoʻokani, i kona wā ʻōpio, ua hakakā pinepine ʻo ia me kona makuakāne. Ma kahi ninaninau, ua ʻike pū ʻo Morgan Wallen a hiki i ka makahiki 25 he ʻano "wild" ʻo ia, ka mea i hoʻoili nui ʻia mai kona makuakāne. "Manaʻo wau ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea aʻu i makemake ai iā ia," wahi a Wallen. “Ua ola maoli ʻo ia. ʻŌlelo mau ʻo Pāpā, e like me aʻu, a hiki i ka makahiki 25 he kanaka wiwo ʻole ʻo ia.
ʻO ka leʻaleʻa koʻikoʻi mua he haʻuki. "I koʻu wā ʻelemakule e neʻe ai a hele wāwae, ua komo koke wau i loko no nā haʻuki," wahi a ka mea pena. "Ua ʻōlelo koʻu makuahine ʻaʻole wau i pāʻani me nā mea pāʻani. Hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka pāʻani ʻana me nā koa liʻiliʻi no ka manawa pōkole. Akā, i ka pau ʻana o ia mea, ua lilo au i hoihoi i ka basketball, baseball, football, kēlā me kēia ʻano pāʻani kinipōpō."
Ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua maikaʻi ʻo Wallen i ka pāʻani pīhili. Eia naʻe, ma muli o kahi ʻeha lima koʻikoʻi, pono ʻo ia e hoʻokuʻu i nā haʻuki. Mai ia manawa mai, ua hoʻomaka ke kanaka e noʻonoʻo i nā koho no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi ʻoihana ma ke mele. Ma mua o kēlā, hīmeni wale ʻo ia me kona makuahine a me kona kaikuahine. Ua komo 'o ia i loko o ke kahua mele ma muli o kona kama'āina me Luke Bryan, ka mea āna i hui pinepine ai ma nā pā'ina a me nā hui. ʻAʻole maopopo ka makuahine o Morgan i ka makemake hou o kāna keiki a noi iā ia e noho i lalo i ka honua.

I ka hoʻomaka, ua komo ʻo ia i ka hui o ka mea mele ʻAmelika ʻo Usher. Akā ma hope mai, ua lilo ʻo Adam Levine mai ka hui Maroon 5 i kumu aʻoaʻo nona. ʻO ka hopena, haʻalele ʻo Wallen i ka papahana ma ke kahua hoʻokūkū. Eia naʻe, mahalo i kona komo ʻana i ka hōʻike, ua loaʻa ka mea hoʻokani kaulana. Ua neʻe ʻo ia i Nashville kahi āna i hana ai i ka hui ʻo Morgan Wallen & Them Shadows.

Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ua hiki nō iaʻu ke hoʻomaopopo i koʻu leo. Ma mua o kēlā, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu e pili ana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma mua o ka hīmeni ʻana, a i ʻole kekahi ʻano leo. Ma ka papahana, lohe au iā lākou no ka manawa mua.
Wahi a Morgan, makemake nā mea hana o The Voice iā ia e lilo i mele pop, akā ʻike ʻo ia he ʻāina kona puʻuwai.

“ʻAʻole au i huhū i kēia. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, mahalo nui wau i ka manawa kūpono, - ua ʻae ka mea pena. "Ua aʻo nui au a ʻoiaʻiʻo he hoʻomaka maikaʻi ia a he pōhaku paepae no ka ʻoihana mele."

Manaʻo wau i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa mua ai mākou i ke mele, ua ʻike mākou he mea kūikawā no ia. ʻO ia kekahi o kēlā mau mele i lawe mai i ka ikehu hou i kēlā me kēia kūlana, hana a hoʻomakeʻaka iaʻu ke pāʻani a lohe paha."
Hoʻopaʻa i ka album ʻelua

“Ua hoʻomaka ka manaʻo 'double album' i mea hoʻohenehene ma waena oʻu a me koʻu luna no ka mea ua ʻohi mākou i nā mele he nui i nā makahiki i hala. A laila hele mai ka quarantine a ʻike mākou ua lawa maoli ka manawa e hana ai i ʻelua disc. Ua hoʻopau wau i kekahi mau mele i ka wā quarantine me kekahi o kaʻu mau hoaaloha maikaʻi. Makemake au i nā mele e kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā ʻano like ʻole o ke ola a loaʻa nā kani like ʻole, "wahi a Wallen e pili ana i ka hana ʻana o ka album.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Morgan Wallen
No ka manawa lōʻihi, hui ʻo Morgan me kahi kaikamahine i kapa ʻia ʻo KT Smith. I Iulai 2020, i ka wā i haʻihaʻi ai ka male, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Morgan i kāna mau mea pā he keiki kāne kāna, ʻo Indigo Wilder. No nā kumu ʻike ʻole, ua noho ke keikikāne me Morgan. I loko o kahi ninaninau, ua ʻae ka mea pena e manaʻo mau ʻo ia e hānai i kāna mau keiki me kahi hoa pili i kahi pilina paʻa.
"Ua ʻike ʻoe e noho pū ana koʻu mau mākua," wahi āna. “Ua hānai pū lākou iaʻu a me koʻu mau kaikuahine. No laila ua lilo koʻu manaʻo i ke ʻano o koʻu ola ʻohana. ʻIke loa, ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia. A ua liʻiliʻi koʻu manaʻo i koʻu ʻike ʻana ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ola a hānai pū i kahi keiki.
