Mat Kearney
Musical artist


Mat Kearney (IPA pronunciation: ) is a singer and songwriter based out of Nashville, TN, originally from Eugene, Oregon. His music has an acoustic base fused with hip hop. He is signed to Aware/Columbia Records. In addition to singing, he also plays guitar, piano and harmonica.

Mat attended California State University Chico, where he was a member of the soccer team. Although not widely known, Mat is a devout Christian and his beliefs are evident in some of his music, such as the song Undeniable.

At a concert in Houston in 2006, he revealed that his song All I Need was written based on two of his friends from New Orleans and their story during Hurricane Katrina.

Mat has songs appearing on big-time TV series such as Grey's Anatomy and Kyle XY.

After Mat's "All I Need" was featured on Grey's Anatomy, "All I Need" and "Nothing Left to Lose" began to chart the iTunes top 100 downloaded songs. "Nothing Left to Lose" charted the Billboard Hot 100 after this. It was Mat's first (and so far only) single to chart.
