Matt Wertz

Artist's Website

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Matt Wertz’ interest in music started when he was young, but it was his interest in visual art that led him to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he graduated with a degree in Industrial Design. It was while he was living in the dorms that his musical talents and ambitions grew. Upon graduation, Wertz gained a considerable fan base by performing at Young Life camps, after releasing “Somedays”, his first album, produced by Steve Wilson. Aside from touring with such acts as Jon McLaughlin, Jason Mraz, Jamie Cullum, Gavin Degraw, Matt Nathanson and Jars of Clay, he has headlined several tours nationally in the early to mid-2000s. Matt has enjoyed a well-deserved rise in attention with songs that have been featured on numerous television shows and movies, including Brothers and Sisters, One Tree Hill, Employee of the Month, My Super Ex-Girlfriend and ABC Family’s Nine Lives of Chloe King.
