Matthew Warren

Born and raised in the Columbia, SC area. My mom and dad raised me to work hard as well as work smart. My dad owned and operated his own moving company for much of my childhood, which had me moving people's furniture and boxes out of a hot moving truck all summer. My mother was, and still is a high level English teacher, who always had me wanting to kill myself at the kitchen table everyday forcing me to do my homework.

My passion in life for a long time was baseball. I played every season, and even some fall ball, from the time I was about 5 yrs old till I got into high school. Which is when I learned to play guitar and sing. I had no idea at the time that this idea of singing and playing music would become my new passion in life, but little by little this new passion took over.

I began playing rhythm guitar in my church youth praise band, and soon ventured out to become a guitarist and front man in a christian rock band with some of my closest friends. We had a lot of fun, played a lot of shows, and made a lot of memories we all look back on and laugh about today.

This is what got me started doing what I'm doing today. I've always loved country music. Besides Elvis Presley, it has always been the most influential genre to my own style and original material. Now that I'm on my own as a country recording artist, I've got a little more freedom to be myself and to write and play the kind of material I've always wanted to sing and play.

As far as my country music influences, I'd have to say Dierks Bentley, Dean Brody, Clay Walker, Eric Church, Blake Shelton, and Joe Nichols would be a few.
