Life and careerMorgan was born in Fazakerley, Liverpool, England, and grew up in Walthamstow, London. At the age of seven, she began writing songs and by thirteen was selling her own songs on CDs at her own gigs, having taught herself how to play the guitar when she was twelve.[6] Morgan has cited "purely people, situations, relationships, losses and gains" as her main influences lyrically.[7] In 2006, she became the youngest person to win the Inter College Vocal Search competition and came first in an XFM busking contest the following year.[3] She enrolled at the BRIT School where she studied music. Morgan was signed to Simon Fuller's management company 19 Entertainment (XIX) when she was 16 and signed a record deal to Warner/679 at age 18 after leaving college early to tour with Marina & The Diamonds. Morgan started recording her debut album with Rudimental's Amir Amor. Morgan toured with Marina and the Diamonds in May 2010.[8] "Shut Out The Moon" was released as her debut single in July 2010 under the named Spark.[3] This was shortly followed by Morgan getting signed to 679 Recordings. In the same year, she supported Black Cards, Diana Vickers and Janelle Monáe on their UK tours. In 2012, Jessica Morgan parted ways with 679 [9] but insisted that there were "no hard feelings" toward them.[10] In an interview with Contactmusic.com, Morgan said: {{quote|The music they had me making just wasn't me. I felt like a fake when I performed it and it just didn't feel right. The artists that I grew up with and fell in love with – Eminem, Tracey Chapman, Jay Z, have so much passion in their delivery that you know it's totally honest. And that made me wonder why I was starting my career trying to fulfill someone else's vision of who I was. It just didn't make sense.[11]}} In July 2013, Morgan released two new songs entitled "Take It Back" and "Struck Out". Several months later, she released her debut extended play, First, on 24 February 2014. DiscographyExtended plays
