Mat grew up as the son of a local church Worship Pastor and was quickly introduced to the basics of both the guitar and piano. He ran with it and continued to grow on both instruments, serving on worship teams in some capacity from that moment on. After moving to Redding, CA for ministry school, he jumped at the opportunity to go on tour playing bass with Bethel Music, which then led to co-producing two major albums with them. That is when his perspective opened up wider & the dream of writing his own music and pursuing a career as a producer was born. With an Alternative/Indie sound, Mat writes in a way to add complexity while still keeping the song approachable, from the musical composition to the lyrics. Mat hopes that through his music, people are inspired to deepen their relationship with God and see the beauty of their own humanity.
