Nashville, Tenn. (February 26, 2025) – Curb Records officially announces the addition of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, MATTHEWS, to their family of artists.

“My passion for music is ingrained in the depths of hope and the magnificence of the sound of worship—the way it shifts atmospheres, brings healing, and transforms lives,” shared MATTHEWS. “Signing with Curb represents a dream unfolding—an opportunity to share my stories and my heart. My music is the outward expression of my inward experience, and my prayer is that it reaches those who need it most.”

With his earliest connection to music deeply rooted in the church, MATTHEWS first gained widespread recognition as a lead vocalist and songwriter for Elevation Worship. He co-wrote and performed on several of the group’s RIAA certified worship projects, including “Here as in Heaven,” “Resurrecting,” and “Echo,” as well as the Here As In Heaven album, cementing his reputation as a gifted songwriter and powerhouse vocalist.

Now stepping into his solo career, MATTHEWS continues his mission to create songs that offer hope to a searching world. Rooted in the heart of worship yet shaped by his diverse influences, he brings a fresh, authentic voice to faith-driven music. His sound invites listeners into a space where honesty and faith collide, meeting them where they are and reminding them that light can always be found, even in the darkest moments.
