“With more than 490 million cumulative streams across his catalog to date, Matt continues to put out new music following his back-to-back No. 1s, Platinum-certified track “Prayed For You” and Gold-certified “Everywhere But On”. In 2020, Stell kicked off the year with a performance on “Good Morning America,” leading into his first headlining tour. He started Penned Up – his hugely successful 8-week Instagram-live series, was the first-ever artist to receive a virtual plaque from the RIAA for “Prayed For You,” was ASCAP Pop and Country most-performed song awards winner, performed the National anthem for NASCAR and NFL events and released his new EP, Better Than That. Co-produced by Stell with Ash Bowers, the 8-song EP also includes “If I Was A Bar,” and its innovative music video filmed during quarantine, where Matt played all 13 characters. The 6’7” Arkansas native has come a long way from playing college basketball for Drury University and making the choice to head to Nashville instead of Cambridge, MA where he was accepted into Harvard University’s Extension School Pre-Med program. Following his dream of writing and performing, the self-taught vocalist and guitar-player made the move to Music City in 2014, landing a publishing and management deal with Wide Open Music and a record deal with music industry powerhouse Barry Weiss’ RECORDS Nashville. Stell has received “Ones To Watch” shout-outs from multiple partners, including Vevo DSCVR, MusicRow’s Next Big Thing, CMT Discovery Artist, YouTube Music Artist on the Rise and more. As one of only eight debut country artists in the last six years to have their first two singles top the charts, Matt celebrated this success as one of Country Radio Seminar’s 2021 New Faces of Country Music class by joining Old Dominion, Toby Keith, and Miranda Lambert on tour. 2022 has so much in store for Matt, including new music, tons of live performances, and his first-ever NFT.”
