About

Matt Maeson (born January 17, 1993, Virginia Beach, VA) is an American singer-songwriter signed to Neon Gold/Atlantic Records, whose music blends indie rock, folk, and blues with confessional, emotionally raw lyrics. He grew up performing at prisons and biker rallies as part of his parents' Christian ministry - an upbringing that left a clear mark on his songwriting. His 2019 debut album Bank on the Funeral made history when its singles 'Cringe' and 'Hallucinogenics' both reached #1 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, making him the first male solo artist to score two #1 Alternative hits from a debut LP.
