Born and raised in Glen Rock, New Jersey, and inspired by Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Eddie Vedder, Roy began playing the guitar at the age of 8 and performing by 12. In his teens, he started playing country music and found his true passion: songwriting. After multiple visits to Music City while in high school, Matt moved to Nashville full-time in 2014 and has been writing and performing ever since. He is a signed writer BMG Music and has song credits with top artists including Kane Brown, Chris Janson, Chris Young, Colt Ford and Adam Doleac. He gained his first No. 1 in 2020 with Chris Janson’s multi-week single “Done.” He is thrilled to be working with amazing writers every day while pursuing his dream as an artist.
