“I really wanted to graduate on time, so I was very thankful for his help. “He offered to try and get me an internship at Visible Music College in Memphis,” she said. Moorman’s college pastor had a friend who reached out to her and told her about a school he was working at in Memphis. So, I had to think on my feet and get something else really quickly.” I was supposed to go to Nashville in the summer of 2020 and have an internship with Lifeway Christian Music Publishing, but the pandemic cancelled that. One of the requirements of the DMI program is an internship in your chosen field before graduation.
I graduated from DMI in two and a half years, so pretty fast. “And, that really started my actual career and got me a little recognition and notoriety as a music business person. “So the following spring, I decided to start my own record label called Cotton Row Records and released my own album,” she added. Moorman said that while she still performed and wrote songs, she became more interested in the business side of music. So I started at DMI in the fall of 2018 and fell in love with all things music business related.” That’s when I decided I wanted to go to DMI (Delta Music Institute) to do Entertainment Industry Studies with a concentration in Entrepreneurship, because I had no background in classical music and most music degrees were going to be really hard for me. “So I quit all sports in my junior year and committed to my music completely. “I wasn’t having the time to write or to go to lessons, all of the things that I really wanted to do,” she said. Moorman had been very athletic in high school, playing soccer, softball and participating in cheer, but in her junior year she decided that sports was taking away from her time with music. A little while later I started leading worship with my youth group at First Baptist Church in Cleveland and then got involved in the choir there and the worship ministry, and church became my primary place for performing and gave me so many opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.” “I started getting more opportunities to perform. Moorman added that once she learned to play an instrument, her songwriting became more prolific and she started performing more. In the eighth grade my parents bought me a guitar for Christmas and I started learning with Barry Bays I took lessons from him for about five years.” “I got involved in Bayou Blues, which is the show choir group at Bayou Academy, and realized how much I loved singing and performing. “Throughout Junior High, writing songs became a way for me to cope with life it was a release for me and I loved it,” she said. She grew up in Cleveland, went to school at Bayou Academy and attended church at First Baptist in Cleveland. Moorman plays guitar, sings and writes her own music, and began composing her own songs in elementary school. Realizing her life’s path at a very early age, Erin Wilson Moorman knew music was something she had to be involved in, one way or another. Cleveland native following her passion in music
