About

Morgan James (born November 24, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She has appeared in numerous Broadway shows, including Motown: The Musical, Godspell, and The Addams Family. Her debut studio album, Hunter, was released by Epic Records in November 2014. James is also known for her numerous collaborations with the jazz collective Postmodern Jukebox. Early life and education James was born Morgan Grunerud in Boise, Idaho, the daughter of educators and actors Allen Grunerud and Shellie Harwood. The family moved frequently when James was a child, going from Idaho to Utah, Tennessee, and finally Modesto, California, where she spent her high school years. James was inspired by her parents to enter the performing arts, and she joined a school choir. Her grandmother also bought her a karaoke machine and agreed to pay for singing lessons until James went to college. James attended Peter Johansen High School in Modesto. She graduated in 1999 and was quickly accepted into The Juilliard School in New York at age 18. There she studied opera and ultimately earned her Bachelor of Music in Voice in 2003. In college, James also took a masterclass led by Broadway veteran Barbara Cook. Career After college, James initially struggled to find work. She did not make her Broadway debut until 2010 in the musical production The Addams Family, starring Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth. In 2011, James appeared in Frank Wildhorn's Wonderland and the Broadway revival of Godspell. James sprained her ankle in rehearsal for Godspell in October 2011 and was unable to perform during previews.
