Matt Corby

Still only in his early 20s, Matt Corbys songs and vocals elicit a sensation that is nothing short of captivating. Having previously been compared to legendary artists such as Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, Matts songs continue to deliver a uniqueness and maturity well beyond his years while his live performances have become renowned for bringing large audiences to a complete stand still.

In 2009, he independently released his debut EP Song For before relocating to London and signing with renowned UK indie label Communion after capturing the attention of the labels owner; Ben Lovett of Mumford and Sons fame.

After recording with Ian Grimble (The Libertines, Seasick Steve) and releasing his hauntingly beautiful EP, Transition To Colour in late 2010, Matt has been busy engaging audiences with his live shows. 2011 saw him playing sold out shows in London and showcasing at SXSW in Austin, Texas before coming back to Australia to play a string of intimate Secret Garden shows in fans backyards. He soon after joined UK band Elbow as the main support on their national tour of sold out Splendour sideshows in July.

His recently released EP, Into The Flame, with producer Tim Carr (Ernest Ellis, Jonathan Boulet) showcases a fresh injection of soulful growling vocals and bluesy melodies bound together with his already unique style of melodic folk. Lyrically raw and endearingly honest, his songs take the listener through an introspective and heartfelt journey. The EP also features a duet with Matts dear friend and keyboardist Bree Tranter, previously of Australian band, The Middle East.

Matt is currently performing on his sold out Winter Tour nationally around Australia.
