  • Huffpost Morgxn
    August 13, 2019 For Indie Pop Star Morgxn, Only A Life Without Labels Is Worth Singing About The singer-songwriter, who identifies as queer, defies easy categorization on his 2018 album, “Vital,” and genre-bending new music. Deeply personal lyrics, a distinctive falsetto and a sensual stage presence have helped make morgxn, whose real name is Morgan Karr, a rising star on the indie pop circuit. The mainstream music industry seems to have caught on, too, by slowly taking notice of the singer-songwriter’s talents. His chosen path, however, has been anything but linear. In fact, he experienced his first burst of success via a different artistic medium: theater. He relocated from Nashville to New York in 2008 to join the ensemble of Broadway’s “Spring Awakening.” The hit musical helped launch the careers of Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele and other actors, but it turned out to be a much different type of turning point for morgxn. “It was a really tough experience, because I remember standing onstage and feeling empty,” he said. “I didn’t know what to do with that. I just wanted to find my own voice and my own way of existing.” In an effort to “shake the universe,” morgxn relocated from New York to Los Angeles in 2011 and began writing. “I don’t think I trust people who haven’t, at some point in their life, sold everything they’ve owned and moved somewhere,” he said, “because I think sometimes you have to give the universe a big gesture that you’re ready for something new.

  • Rising Star: Covington & Burling's David Pinsky
    Portfolio Media. Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th Floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] Rising Star: Covington & Burling's David Pinsky By Vidya Kauri Law360, New York (April 19, 2016, 3:58 PM ET) -- Nearly four decades after David Pinsky’s Jewish parents fled the Soviet Union for fear of persecution, the international arbitration attorney at Covington & Burling LLP returns to his birthplace to represent Ukraine’s state-owned oil and gas company as it works to settle investment disputes against Russia, after having successfully won similar arbitral cases for other big-league entities. Landing in Kiev on his 39th birthday — and on Law360’s Rising Stars list of top attorneys under 40 — two years after he made partner, Pinsky not only heads his firm’s Russia and Eurasia initiative in the arbitration practice, he helped develop Covington & Burling’s Russia- focused arbitration practice early in his career by leveraging his knowledge of the ex-Soviet region’s politics, playing a key role in victorious, precedent-setting arbitration proceedings for Spanish minority investors in Yukos Oil Co. and enlisting high-profile business clients faced with sanction threats from Russia. David Pinsky According to Covington & Burling, it was Pinsky who recently Covington & Burling assembled a team and successfully pitched the firm’s virtues to Ukraine’s NJSC Naftogaz when the oil company was looking for counsel to help it recover damages from Russia’s seizure of its investments in Crimea. But in an interview with Law360 before his one-week trip in connection with his role as lead counsel in the Naftogaz matter, Pinsky was reluctant to take full credit for his accomplishments, saying that Covington is a collegial and collaborative place that has nurtured his career from the ground up since long before he became the firm’s first partner in New York focused on international arbitration work.
