Bio
Morgan Joyce Hart (formerly known as Morgan Minsk and Morgan Joyce Williams) is a renowned indie folk-soul singer-songwriter known for her soothing voice and observant lyricism. Her music seamlessly blends elements of indie folk, acoustic soul, and classic pop, creating a unique and captivating sound.
A graduate of Berklee College of Music with a degree in music therapy, Hart's career took off in 2018 when her fanbase raised $25K to fund her debut album, Praise. The album's success marked the beginning of her journey as an indie artist. In 2022, she released the EP Everything, Everything, a raw and vulnerable exploration of her divorce and personal healing through Christ, co-produced by Brian K Fisher of Eastern Souvenirs. Hart's 2024 New Year's single, Work of Art, offered a hopeful anthem about the joy of falling in love again after heartbreak and seeing the world through new eyes.
She continues to captivate audiences with her 2024 single Mended Moon, an honest and allegorical take on mental health and the process of being "half-healed." How is it possible to be so broken and yet still shine radiantly like the moon? Hart takes a stab at explaining it in this haunting, yet energetic folk-rock lament. In promotion of her single, Hart embarked on The Mended Moon Tour in October of 2024. The tour wielded intimate performances across various venues, providing fans with a unique and emotional live music experience.
Hart's accomplishments include the Berklee Voice Outstanding Performer Award (2013). She has been featured in various press outlets such as NPR, the South Florida Sun Sentinel, and the Boston Voyager. Notable performances include Reddit Inc.'s Virtual Moderator Summit (2021), the South Florida State Fair (2022, 2023), and the South Regional showcase for the National Association of Campus Activities (2022).
"Her music defies categorization," says Scott Shurtleff of the Lowell Sun, while Ben Crandell of the South Florida Sun Sentinel describes discovering her music as "a revelation." Margaret Boswell of The State Journal-Register adds, "You feel as if you should fall off your chair and onto the floor [...] You will not believe it when you hear her sing."
