His video for Translucent, a single on his recent album, directly tackles the ideas of gender and people’s limited views of masculinity. When I ask him if it felt like ‘beautiful’ wasn’t a term that was meant for him because it’s often coded as feminine, Morgxn responds quickly: ‘Absolutely, 100 percent.’ Loving yourself for who you areĪs an artist, Morgxn’s music is vulnerable and raw. He brings up this up while talking about Pride, and envisioning the month as a time where he can look at himself and love the version he sees. ‘It was never something I was told you’re allowed to do.’ ‘Growing up, I could never look in the mirror and say I’m beautiful,’ he says frankly. He radiates warmth and ease and openness. He’s wearing a green jacket with pink sunglasses and his nails are painted white. Sitting across from me, I can’t help but take in his own character. Morgxn, who hails from Nashville, enthuses about its character and detail. It’s located in North Hollywood and looks like it came straight from the set of a Western movie in Hollywood’s Golden Age. ‘I’ve always been drawn to the West,’ Morgxn tells me as we settle in at the cafe.
