Biography

about the artist

Matt's  love for music began at an early age, growing up in a Christian home where faith and music were an important part of his life. Over the years, he developed a deep appreciation for a variety of musical styles and artists, drawing inspiration from the rich harmonies of the Cathedral Quartet and Gaither Vocal Band, as well as the music of Steve Green, Michael English, and Steven Curtis Chapman.

During his high school years in western Washington, Matt began developing his own vocal abilities, competing in and winning several vocal competitions. His passion for singing continued beyond high school, eventually taking him on the road to perform at churches and local events while attending a small Christian college in San Dimas, California.

Following college, Matt married his wife, Jaime, in 1998. Together, they spent the next 24 years serving in their local church in the Seattle, Washington area, sharing a commitment to faith, family, and ministry. Throughout those years, Matt continued pursuing his passion for music, singing at churches, special events, and venues throughout Washington State. During this season, he also recorded and released six cover albums, allowing him to share the music and songs that had been such an important part of his own journey.

Today, Matt and Jaime reside in the Tampa, Florida area with their two daughters, Danielle and Alexandra. Matt continues to pursue his passion for sharing the message of Christ through music, with a desire to encourage hearts, strengthen faith, and point people to the hope found in Jesus.

For Matt, music has always been about more than simply singing a song. It's about sharing a message, connecting with people, and using the gift God has given him to bring encouragement and inspiration to others.
