This is Women Road Warriors with Shelly Johnson and Kathy Takaro from the corporate office to the cab of a truck. They're here to inspire and empower women in all professions. So gear down, sit back and enjoy.
Welcome. We're an award-winning show dedicated to empowering women in every profession through inspiring stories and expert insights. No topics off limits on our show. We power women on the road to success with expert and celebrity interviews and information you need. I'm Shelley. And I'm Kathy. Today on Women Road Warriors, we're joined by an artist whose voice, vulnerability, and resilience are captivating audiences around the world. Morgan Miles is a powerhouse soul country singer-songwriter known for her soaring five-octave vocal range, deeply personal storytelling, and fearless authenticity. Many listeners first discovered Morgan during her unforgettable run on NBC's The Voice, where she earned one of the fastest four chair turns in the show's history and went on to become a top three finalist.
But long before the spotlight of national television, Morgan was doing what so many dreamers do, grinding it out in small venues, writing from the heart, and building her career one song, one stage, and one hard-earned lesson at a time. Her new album, Laced, is more than a collection of songs. It's an emotional journey. Co-written entirely by Morgan and produced by Grammy winner Ross Hogarth, alongside legendary musicians from Fleetwood Mac, Government Mule, and John Mellencamp. The album explores heartbreak, resilience, healing, faith, and hope with striking honesty. What makes Morgan especially inspiring is her willingness to speak openly about both the triumphs and the painful realities behind chasing a dream.
She shared her experiences with heartbreak, calling off an engagement, navigating betrayal and fraudulent intent within the music industry, and learning how to stay grounded and authentic through all of it. Her message is powerful. Our struggles do not define us. They can shape us, strengthen us, and propel us toward success. Morgan describes her sound as country soul, and there's something incredibly real about the way she connects with people. No auto-tune, no pretending, just raw talent, truth, and heart. Today, we're going to talk about the lessons learned through perseverance, the reality behind the spotlight, the importance of authenticity in life and art, and how turning personal trials into purpose can become one of our greatest forms of empowerment.
Welcome, Morgan. Thank you for being on the show with us.
Hi, how are you guys? Thanks for having me. Oh my gosh, you're a superstar. Hi. Not really.
You're so incredibly talented and your vocal range is amazing. Five octaves. I mean, most people only get up to three. I mean, we're talking Mariah Carey territory here. Are you considered as high as maybe a color chair soprano? How would your vocal range be described? You're all over the place.
I mean, I don't know what you would call it. I think I just, I figured out these different notes in my range, like as time went on. And usually it would be like a live situation. And then all of a sudden I'd be like, oh. That was high.
What challenges did Morgan Myles face before her success?
And then once I did it the one time, I knew how to get back there. So, yeah, like one time somebody was asking me what my range was and it was a manager. And I said, I have no clue. And they sat me down at a piano and that's how they figured it out.
Wow.
I would imagine vocal coaches have been in awe of you because it's not normal usually for the human voice to have that kind of a range. It's just tremendous. Well, thank you. I find it funny because it's awesome. But ever since my daughter's been four, I think one of the first things that she was saying on a regular basis was, Mom, don't sing. So you're the opposite.
To this day, she's like, Mom, God, please don't say. No, I'm pretty sure kids just don't want their parents talking.
Oh, got that right.
Yes.
Yeah, no, I would belt out Meatloaf, you know, Paradise by the Dashboard. She is traumatized.
