Success stories are always nice to hear about, especially when they’re homegrown. Texas Music Project is proud to call one of their own an Honorary Chairman. Maren Morris, recent Grammy winner at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, is a native of Arlington, Texas and Texas Music Project alumni.
Maren’s Grammy stage debut performance was nothing short of spectacular – a rendition of her song “Once” alongside multi-Grammy Award-winning singer/ songwriter Alicia Keys. Maren shared nominations with such country music stars as Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and Brandy Clark.
We’re honored to have her as our Honorary Chairman – her accomplishments speak for themselves. Maren won Best Country Solo Performance for “My Church” and was also nominated for Best New Artist, Best Country Song and Best Country Album (Hero). TMP is always happy to hear from our family of alumni and Maren’s rise in the country-music scene is no surprise. Eleven years ago, Maren stepped into our writing camp and the rest, as they say, is history. Arlington, Texas has a new famous face they can call their own. We welcome Maren as our new Honorary Chairman and can’t wait to see what great work she does for not only Texas Music Project, but music itself.
Making music dreams come true is what we at TMP are all about, and Maren’s story is just another in a long line of continued music education success stories. We can’t wait to see what more music Maren brings us and the help she can bring in spreading the word on saving the arts in Texas.
