Biography

Chris Morgan, also addressed as Ochogwu was born on May 25, 1978, in Otukpo, Benue state. He hails from Ipole-Igwu, Orokam in Ogbadibo local government area in the same Benue State, Nigeria. Chris Morgan is the firstborn of nine children born into the family of Mr. Christian Ochogwu and Mrs. Regina Ochogwu. He grew up in a Christian home in Benue State, Nigeria.

Chris Morgan was talented as his musical talents manifested while growing up in the red, dusty street of Otukpo in Benue State at the age of four. He recalled in an interview that his mum said he cried in musical tones. According to Chris Morgan, the talented gospel artist, something unusual happened to him when he was 12 selling orange and groundnut for his mother – Mrs. Regina Ochogwu. He was a member of Catholic Charismatic but had an encounter (described as unusual) with the Lord on the altar for three good days.

He did not have a music background and had no access to musical instruments owning to the fact that he was a groundnut seller. However, Chris Morgan recalled when he begged a Pharmacy owner who happens to own a keyboard, for music lessons. The Pharmacist chased him away beckoning on him to face his studies. Resilient Chris Morgan even offered to pay some money for the music classes. As time went by, the Pharmacist needed someone to manage his business in his absence, and that was hoe Chris Morgan got access to a keyboard, mastering the basic keys before the Pharmacist returned from his journey.

Chris Morgan moved on to join a charismatic band, there he picked up skills playing other musical instruments such as band, bass guitar, and even lead guitar. At the age of 15, Chris Morgan started writing songs. Chris Morgan also recalled of a vision he had when he saw myself singing with a very mighty microphone. While chanting, he would see a powerful hand holding a net and pulling people inside. He said that he saw God giving me a net, telling him that each time he sang, that is what will happen.

At the age of 16, Chris Morgan went to Lagos with a certain man of God who wanted him for a music directing job in FESTAC Town. From there, he encountered various opportunities which he embraced and delivered. Chris Morgan is now an established gospel minster who travels extensively and has made special appearances in both local, and international events and conferences.
