Episode Synopsis
On this latest episode of @RARE, Grammy award winner and Maroon 5 keyboard player and backup singer, PJ Morton talks to authors and hosts Sunny Bonnell and Ashleigh Hansberger about everything from why he didn’t become a preacher like his father, starting out on the indie circuit, to cooking, to what it was like auditioning for @Maroon 5 and how he clicked with lead singer Adam Levine.
Morton has been pushing back since he was a kid. Growing up in New Orleans, the son of a popular preacher, everyone always thought Paul- otherwise known as PJ, would follow in his father's footsteps.
But after some soul searching and a streak of rebelliousness, PJ stepped out of his father’s shadow and burst onto the music scene. He’s now blended a successful solo career with a life on the road as piano player for one of the world's most popular band’s, Maroon 5.
