For Australian-born singer-songwriter Matthew James, music has always been a way to process life's highs and lows. Now based in Toronto, Ontario, and influenced by artists like Matt Maeson, Noah Kahan and Sam Fender, he's found his voice in alternative and indie-pop/rock, crafting songs that explore themes of resilience and self-discovery. His emotive delivery and raw storytelling create songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable, music that lingers long after the final note. "I do my best to create honest, emotionally resonant songs that connect with my audience," says James.
“Matthew graced The Nick stage in March 2024 as part of the Write On program. His commanding stage presence and wonderful voice brought his music to life and he was an immediate hit with our audience. I look forward to seeing Matthew’s career develop!”
