About

Matt Zaddy - Folk Rock | Modern Soul | Canadiana

“...a provocative, endlessly harmonious effort ...one of the better independent albums I’ve listened to in the last six months." - www.musicexistence.com

With a sound that seamlessly blends folk-rock and modern soul, there’s something for every music fan to love about singer/songwriter Matt Zaddy.  A storyteller at heart, Matt’s music speaks to the soul, with tales of life, love, hardship, and redemption.  As someone who has shared stages with a diverse array of artists including K’Naan, pop star Francesco Yates, CanRock legends Tom Cochrane and Jim Cuddy, The Trews and Cowboy Junkies, Matt Zaddy’s intention is to connect with as many listeners as possible, regardless of any genre restrictions. Matt's music certainly possesses everything to achieve that goal in a big way, and to place Matt Zaddy squarely in the conversation about Canada’s most promising singer/songwriters.

Matt is releasing his new single What Comes Around on June 27th, 2023 as a follow up his award winning 2019 album Be, with Canadian touring to following support of the release.  #WhatComesAround is a song about the struggle to do what you love, with hope on the horizon.
