Matt Corby

Matt Corby is an Australian singer-songwriter and musician. He was runner-up on the 2007 season of Australian Idol when he was only 16 years old. Matt was born on the 7th of november 1990 and grew up in Sydney. In 2009 he relocated to london and was signed with the indie lable Commonion by the lables owner, Ben Lovett of Mamford & Sons.

In January 2012, Matt Corby was named the 'Next Big Thing' and won 'Song of the Year' for "Brother" at FBi Radio's annual SMAC Awards in Darlinghurst, Sydney.

Still only in his early 20s, Matt Corby’s 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, Matt’s 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.

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 Matt’s 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.
