Biography

Megan Ann Moroney was born October 9, 1997 in Savannah, Georgia.[2][3][1]

She began listening to country music in her childhood and learned to play piano. While attending the University of Georgia, she opened at a concert for Chase Rice, as well as for Kristian Bush of Sugarland. After completing her degree, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2020 to begin a music career. She kept in contact with Bush, which led to him introducing her to other songwriters. She released her first single "Wonder" in 2021, which in turn led to her releasing an extended play titled Pistol Made of Roses. Her next single release was "Tennessee Orange" in 2022, a track on which Bush served as producer.[1]

After the song's release, Moroney received attention on social media for wearing a Tennessee Volunteers shirt belonging to Morgan Wallen; it led to rumors that she was dating him, but Moroney remained neutral when asked if the two were in a relationship. After the song became popular through online streaming, Moroney signed with Arista Nashville.[4]

In late 2022, "Tennessee Orange" debuted at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Moroney her first chart entry. At the time, the song also charted on Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay.[5] Arista Nashville closed while the song was climbing the charts, and as a result, Moroney was transferred to Columbia Records Nashville.[6]
