Nathan Morris Wanted to Play Football as a Child
Believe it or not, Nathan was bullied for being the smallest classmate in elementary school. He later became a troublemaker. He started singing and playing trumpet in church as a child. He was noticed during a vocal class in fourth grade when he pointed out an error made by his teacher and corrected it by singing the song in the right key.
