Morgan’s triumphant win a few months later at the 2007 Telstra Road to Tamworth Grand Final propelled his already fast-rising career into high gear. He cut his teeth as front-man and guitar slinger for multi-award winning local rock trio, Solver, whose accolades include Best Rock Act and Artist of the Year at the 2006 MusicOz Awards. He has racked up more career milestones than many performers manage in a lifetime – including award nominations, a #1 single and #1 video, and touring performances with Taylor Swift, Brooks & Dunn, Thirsty Merc, Shannon Noll and more. When you’re around Morgan Evans, his excitement about the future is palpable. “I started playing piano when I was five, got my first guitar at thirteen and started gigging straight away,” he laughs. Morgan’s new five-track EP, Live Each Day, released in January, is proof positive that talent, belief and persistence is a winning combination. Now in 2012, having signed a major record deal with Warner Music Australia, the 26-year-old believes he can finally describe his music career as “official”. The Newcastle singer-songwriter says writing, playing and performing music has been an all-consuming passion and need for as long as he can remember. There has never been any question about whether or not Morgan Evans would have a career in music.
