Wess Morgan
- Actor
Singer, recording artist, pastor, and director Wess Morgan took the
long and hard road in finding his calling in life. The son of Pastors
Joseph and Yolanda Morgan, Morgan spent his childhood traveling and
singing gospel with his parents and his siblings. At the young age of
ten, though, he began using drugs and drinking, which led to several
jail sentences and a whole lot of time in recovery centers before he
finally emerged from his cycle of substance abuse. Helping others who
had taken the same unfortunate path became Morgan's mission in life and
he eventually established the Repre Foundation, a nonprofit
organization focused on drug and alcohol prevention and recovery. He
also founded Bowtie World Music, a music and film production company.
Morgan's debut album, Look at Me Now, was released in 2007, and was
quickly embraced by the Christian and gospel communities, allowing him
to tour and promote his foundation and mission. A second album, Under
an Open Heaven, appeared in 2010.
