About Mat Kearney
Mat Kearney was born in Eugene, Oregon, and started writing songs while at college in Chico, California, before moving to Nashville. His early albums, Bullet and Nothing Left to Lose, set the template: spoken-rhythm verses that borrow from hip-hop phrasing, then wide, melodic choruses.
Songs such as 'Breathe In Breathe Out' and 'Undeniable' reached a large audience through television, including Grey's Anatomy. Later records, among them City of Black & White, Young Love, Just Kids, Crazytalk and January Flower, moved between acoustic songwriting and brighter, beat-driven pop, with 'Hey Mama' among the more upbeat singles.
