Morgan Nagler on writing with alt‑rock’s biggest names and her solo debut at 47

The title of Morgan Nagler’s solo debut, I’ve Got Nothing to Lose, and I’m Losing It, hints at the hard-earned perspective behind putting her name to an album for the first time at 47. She began in front of the camera as a child, turning up to an audition for The Fresh Prince of Bel‑Air alongside 200 girls and choosing to read the lines as a “super‑nerd,” a move that led producers to rewrite the part and hire her to kiss Carlton.

Today she lives in a semi‑rustic pocket of Malibu, in the guesthouse of friends rather than a mansion.
