As perhaps the premiere Catholic recording artist and songwriter today, Matt has written songs for and alongside artists like Chris Tomlin, Kathy Troccoli and Michael Olson. His biggest hits include, “Your Grace is Enough” recorded by Chris Tomlin, and “As It Is in Heaven”.
Born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada, Matt moved with his mother to Arizona in 1995. Having grown up listening to a variety of music and studying music in college, Matt was quickly approached by the Youth Director of his Parish in Arizona to assist with Worship. Matt was overtaken by the call and as his faith grew so did his success as a song writer.
His current album, Empty and Beautiful, was released in April 2008. He wrote or co-wrote all 12 songs on the album. The title song was inspired by the writings of St. Paul. “When you read all of Paul’s letters you see the transformation of a man into a follower of Christ,” says Matt. “It’s the miracle of grace being revealed” as the chorus to the title track illustrates:
You fought the fight in me
You chased me down
and finished the race
I was blind but now I see
Jesus,
