Emi Morris - "Indescribable" The Rehearsal

NOTE: Emi Morris did not perform in the Worship Unplugged Showcase due to having laryngitis. However, we didn't think that alone should be reason enough to eliminate her from the selection process. Please NOTE: Keep in mind, Emi's video performance below is REHEARSAL!

Meagan Nicole Morris, now known as “Emi Morris”, was born on January 5th, 1990. Always exhibiting a very unique and colorful personality, Emi at age three began singing songs, “big” songs, from Whitney Houston’s sound track “The Body Guard” in which she began getting attention from friends and family. Early at pre-school age, her teachers and peers recognized her talents and she began performing in school plays and talent contests. By age seven, Emi wrote and arranged her first song “Crucified,” presenting this song to her parents, from there she performed this song in church during youth day. The congregation was astonished! And from there birthed a divine force in her life that could not be redirected. Music and the arts is what Emi knew she wanted to do.

Emi exhibited so much passion for the arts and love for her peers in school. She began in her community, school and church using her gifts any time the opportunity presented. At the age of twelve she was selected as one of thirty students from five-hundred applicants in the metro-Atlanta area to do “America’s greatest moments”, a commercial giving tribute to great American leaders known and unknown through the TBS network during the 2002-2003 school year.

Emi began professionally recording her own self written and arranged music by age thirteen. In the year 2005 Emi released a miniature album self entitled at the time “Meagan Morris” selling over four-hundred copies. An arrangement of sultry pop melodies, for her it became and remained a success; representing a peak into her music future of what very possibly awaited her. Winning Miss 9th and 10th grade at Lithonia high school, the winner of majority of her high school talent shows and the winner of the Urban Teen idol contest in 2006, Emi continued her passion of music while also taking time for interest in film. In the year 2007, Emi starred as “Ratasha Williams” in the independent film “Waiting to be loved”, the story of a parentless troubled teen finding a way out of self destructive situations, shown at the local movie theater in Lithonia, Georgia. She also wrote the theme song and performed it for the film generating nearly one thousand plays on her web page where it was posted.

Emi Morris, at 19 years of age, currently attends New Birth missionary Baptist Church and serves as the Worship leader and Praise team coordinator in the youth ministry among other services at the church. She has maintained Honor student status graduating from high school in the top ten percent of her class at Miller Grove High School, while continuing that excellence at Clark Atlanta University where she has made the Deans list both semesters and stands with a 3.66 GPA. Emi Morris is now in the process of creating an organization “Daddy’s Girlz”, a non-profit organization that will empower young women to seek love and protection from their Heavenly Father, and Emi wants young women to know how to over come sadness and emptiness through obtaining the truth that “they too are loved with or without a physical father in their lives”. She is also in the process of completing two new books “Daddy’s Girlz: What God wants his daughters to know” self entitled behind the organization, and a new novel “The way God smells,” a story about a young girl growing up in the south in the sixty’s enduring harsh realities and finding solace in the way that God “smells”.

Emi’s love for song writing and varieties of music has not allowed her to be limited to specific music but has broadened her love for all music; allowing her to be skilled at country writing styles, pop, rock, soul and blues, having performed in all these categories. Many believe this leaves audiences unable to place her in a box and instead mesmerizes the audiences with her ability to excel at them all.

Emi is an amazing songwriter, singer, actress, soon to be author and community leader willing to do the necessities to use her gifts and talents to touch lives through her art when ever… where ever. She believes that Faith is the foundation to a long lasting and powerful life changing career. And as she believes in that, we believe she is destined to do just that-change the world.
