Jason Matthews
Jason Matthews has always been a writer. From the time he was old enough to hold a pen, he’s been scribbling his thoughts and feelings into spiral bound notebooks. At fifteen, he saw Eric Clapton on television and became obsessed with playing guitar. So after learning how to play three chords, it was only natural that the first thing he did was write a song. And another one. And another one.
In 1995, he chased his dream of being a professional songwriter to Nashville, TN from his home in Harrells Store, NC and never looked back. He scored his first hit in 2002 on Lyric Street recording artist, Kevin Denney, with “That’s Just Jessie”.
In 2006, he struck solid platinum with his first number one on Billy Currington with the most played song of that year, “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right”. This earned him the coveted Music Row Magazine Breakthrough Writer Of The Year Award along with platinum single, album, and ringtone awards.
Recently, he made his debut as a producer with Australian artist, Benn Gunn. The first single (which Jason also co-wrote), “Girls Like Guys With Trucks”, yielded an Australian three week number one. He just produced Canadian artist, ex-Cold Creek County lead singer, Brandon Scott’s highly anticipated solo debut as well as EP releases on artists Cody Webb and Mick Lindsay.
