Joel Wesley Morgan (born September 5, 1973), who goes by the stage name Wess Morgan is an American gospel musician, pastor, and director. The son of Pastors Joseph and Yolanda Morgan, Wess Morgan spent his childhood along with his siblings traveling with his parents, as they ministered the gospel through music and preaching in churches across the United States. It was at a young age Wess realized that music and God were destined to be an integral part of his life. At age 11, Wess began experimenting with drugs and alcohol, eventually becoming addicted to cocaine which led to several jail sentences and an extensive amount of time in recovery centers before finally emerging from his cycle of substance abuse. Providing guidance and assisting others who have taken the same unfortunate path became Wess Morgan’s mission in life. He eventually established the Recovery Fest, an annual event now in its 7th year, which attracts thousands of people from all over the country, Recovery Fest is all about celebration and determination and also drug and alcohol prevention geared towards teens through educational programs.
