Matt Waters is a soul artist from Cincinnati, OH. A unique blend of an acoustic songwriter & funk frontman, Waters began his career at age fourteen as a young guitarist searching for every opportunity to step onto the stage. He soon discovered his voice, and began stepping out as a solo artist.

Waters quickly progressed as an entertainer & songwriter, by his early 20’s had already opened for acts such as Luke Combs, AJR, Judah & the Lion, and Tim Reynolds. As Matt continued to grow, so did the performances. From the local dives to jam-packed stadiums with thousands listeners, Waters refined his craft as an entertainer with incessant touring of the US.

They plan to release music throughout 2021 to accompany their touring schedule, and Waters continues to write material for the future.
