Morgan Cryar, Songwriting Coach, Producer, CEO

If you know Christian music artist Morgan Cryar at all, you likely know him by his songs.  He became a national figure in Christian music as an artist with his 1984 debut release "Keep No Secrets" on Star Song Records. As a writer, he became well-known for his paradox-laden lyric style. Songs like "Strength of the Weak," and "Kingdom Upside Down" flow out of a heart that relishes irony.

As an artist, Morgan enjoyed considerable radio success with songs like "Holy Fire," "I Get Carried Away," "Voice of Experience," "Pray in the USA," and of course "What Sin?"  His #1 hits on Christian radio include "If I Never See a Miracle," "I Call Him Father," and "Pray in the USA."

Cryar has enjoyed a parallel career in record production, helping independent artists make the most of their music.  He has also served the indie community through Christian Music Workshops as a teacher of songwriting, music business, and stage presence. 

Morgan now serves as CEO of Singing Success, Inc.   The company sells the most sought after vocal instruction program on the web.  He makes his home in Nashville, TN with his wife Melanie and their 7 children.
