At the age of 15, Chris Morgan started writing songs. Chris Morgan also recalled a vision he had when he saw me 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.
