Matt Mason (singer)


Matt Mason is an American singer/songwriter who has been writing and recording music for nearly 16 years now. Writing from his experiences of a life that few live to tell about, his redemptive story is one that can be heard in his music and something he talks openly about hoping that it can help others in the way.
Although, his life may have been more than troubled, at times, he gives all the credit to where he is now to Jesus Christ.
Matt’s music can be found on all streaming platforms where music can be played.

Early life and career

Mason was born in Fairland, Indiana and attended Triton Central High School in Shelby County, Indiana. He grew up listening to traditional country music, and started playing guitar at age eleven, and from that time onward wanted to sing professionally. At age 16, he opened for Charlie Daniels in western Massachusetts. Six months after graduating from high school in 2004, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his career, and found work as a session musician. Within three weeks, he was performing in live shows.

Reality Television

In 2006, at age 20, he appeared on Nashville Star, finishing in fourth place. Afterwards, his productivity was affected by a struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, from which he recovered. He subsequently performed live as often as four times a week in venues on Lower Broadway. In 2011, he won CMT's Next Superstar.

Post-''Superstar''

Following his Next Superstar win, Mason was signed to Warner Records. Anticipating a slow process of creating and releasing a major-label album, Mason continued to tour and self-release recordings. He released the EP America's Favorite Pastime in 2012.
Mason lives in Nashville.
