Colton Lane Morman

“I’m not even supposed to be here.” Colton says. Yet, here he is. Growing up in a poor, single parent household, the odds were stacked against him from the time the words “it’s a boy” were uttered. His mother, a 3X breast cancer survivor, never let him know that though. “I’d watch her work all kinds of odd jobs to make ends meet, to make the impossible happen. She didn’t believe in the impossible. She’d do whatever she had to do, like wear the same pair of shoes for years at a time so that my sister and I could get new school shoes. She always told me I could be absolutely anything and that whatever I wanted, wherever I wanted to go in life, it was all possible. I believed her.” His mother instilled in him the value of working for what you want, never giving up, and a long list of musical influences that span anywhere from Elvis Presley to Eddie Vedder. After starting his first band and performing at local venues throughout high school and his time at Texas A&M, Colton released his debut album “Better Than You” to music stores everywhere in 2018, the name of the album being “an ode and a promise” to his absent father. “I just wanted to be better than him in every area and I wanted him to know it too. The only thing he ever gave me was the ability to outdrink anyone and I don’t even like that part of me anymore.” He laughs. But just a few short years ago, it wasn’t a laughing matter at all. “Throughout high school and college I drank, but I didn’t realize I was doing it more than most. It wasn’t interfering with my life, I thought, so I continued until it nearly ended my life one night.” Colton’s real life struggles are often brought to light throughout his songwriting. He touches on sensitive subjects that others tend to shy away from; subjects such as depression, addiction, suicide, and redemption. “I just want other people to know they aren’t alone in this. Life is hard man and it’s even harder if you are doing it alone. To know someone else has been through it, and made it to the other side, it’s reassuring. They show you that it’s not impossible. I’m not even supposed to be here…” Yet, here he is. Colton is currently working on new music to be released in the Summer of 2024 with dates to follow. Stay tuned!

"I’m on a mission. Moreso, I have a mission. That’s to write the most honest and authentically sound songs that I am able to create, man. I have always had a deep appreciation for songwriters that bare their soul and everything within themselves through their music, regardless of what that may look like to others. Not everyone is going to love every song that I write, not everyone will relate to every song, but I can guarantee that everyone will feel. I can guarantee that each song you hear with my name attached, is a song written from the deepest part of myself. Songs embedded with love, lust, anger, joy, hate, regret, sorrow, doubt, and everything in between. They are soundtracks to the life I live. Introspect into who I am, the good and the bad. And I write songs for me... but also for you."
