NBC's new competition show, "American Song Contest," will feature an artist from North Carolina. Hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson, 'American Song Contest' features competitors from all 50 states. Like similar competitions, the public will be able to vote on their favorite performance. 

The competition will feature professional musical artists such as solo singers, duos, or groups of up to six members from each of the 50 US states. The format will put artists head-to-head against other representatives in a series of qualifier competitions, leading to the semi-finals and the primetime "March Madness" style final. The contest takes place between March 21 and May 9, 2022, and airs on NBC. Joining ‘American Song Contest’ is North Carolina’s representative — John Morgan. Let's know more about him.

Who is John Morgan?

John Morgan, who wrote songs for country superstar Jason Aldean, lives in Nashville, Tennessee, but was born in Sylva, North Carolina. He’s dedicated his life to music and moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Morgan grew up surrounded by bluegrass music and began songwriting with inspiration from six-string legends like Tony Rice and John Mayer. A series of events involving an Uber driver and a writing session with two of Aldean's bandmates resulted in him writing eight songs for the superstar, including 'If I Didn’t Love You,' a smash hit featuring Carrie Underwood.



 

Morgan's debut track, 'Coldest Beer in Town,' was released in 2021 while he toured the nation with Aldean during his 'Back in the Saddle' tour. In his official 'American Song Contest' biography, Morgan describes his music style as bringing "a blue-collar toughness to a country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows."
