Mat Kearney is a solo artist whose songs have been featured on some of television's most popular shows, including
Grey's Anatomy
. He hails from Eugene, Oregon, but Kearney now resides in Nashville, Tennessee, where he developed half of his last album from home,
CRAZYTALK
, which was released on May 4, 2018. The album speaks about what happens after you find love and become an adult. His style was a mix between soft rock and folk whereas now fans can experience his new sound live, too, as he has branched out to integrate EDM and hip hop vibes, drawing from sounds from
Lauryn Hill
,
Tribe Called Quest
and Bell Biv DeVoe, who he counts as some of his musical influences. All I Need and Nothing Left to Lose, both from the album
Nothing Left to Lose
, are two of his most popular songs.
When Kearney made his mark on the music scene, it was a soft touch.
Nothing Left to Lose
is a rework of his first album,
Bullet
. The second album gave him the opportunity to tour with
John Mayer
and
Sheryl Crow
, among other notable artists from 2005 to 2007. Becoming a husband and father has given Kearney a new perspective. While he enjoyed writing from the point of view of young love, he now aims to write from a perspective of wisdom, which he has gained. Since he sees himself as primarily a songwriter, becoming an independent artist has afforded him the freedom he desired to branch out and take risks. Even though
CRAZYTALK
opened to lukewarm reviews, Kearney continues to perform at several venues, music festivals and events often at the request of the event's promoters.
