A Deep Dive Into Partnering with GRAMMY-Nominated Artists: PJ Morton

A Deep Dive Into Partnering with GRAMMY-Nominated Artists: PJ Morton

GRAMMY nominations have been announced! In this blog series, we've been taking a deeper look the FIVE of the artists we’ve partnered with at MAX who have received nominations - see the first blogs in the series on Ingrid Andress, and Lecrae!

This year’s nomination for Best Gospel Album (for Gospel According to PJ) marks R&B and gospel artist PJ Morton’s 14th career GRAMMY nomination. PJ has won two GRAMMY awards in prior years; prior nominations include recognition for his solo work, his songwriting, and his work as a keyboardist for alt-pop group Maroon 5.

Before he joined Maroon 5, PJ Morton was already well known in the music industry as a prolific studio musician, independent solo artist, sought-after songwriter, and in-demand producer. Joining the group seems to have only spurred Morton’s creativity even further, as he continues to release critically acclaimed solo albums, often earning awards and recognition for both his solo efforts and his work with Maroon 5 in the same year.
