Labeled a powerhouse voice set on reminding people that God has a hope and a future for each of our lives, singer-songwriter Matthew Jones has been performing and leading worship for the better part of his life. Drawing inspiration from life experiences and blending musical influences ranging from pop to gospel/R&B, CCM and worship from such artists as Rachael Lampa, Unspoken, and Tauren Wells, Matt fuses soulful vocals with precise artistry and masterful lyrics to create songs that are as catchy as they are relatable. Matt formed the band Right Hand Shade in 2016, going on to release two acclaimed full-length albums and several singles, touring the East Coast of the USA and performing on stages before large crowds at high-profile festivals, beach amphitheaters and youth retreat weekends. During these years, Matt leaned full throttle into his God-given gifts and watched many dreams become realities: Recording with award-winning producers, receiving national radio airplay with multiple singles, and opening for such artists as Mike Weaver (Big Daddy Weave), Phil Joel (Newsboys), JJ Weeks, Mark Schultz, Adam Agee (Audio Adrenaline), Love & the Outcome, John Tibbs, and others. It seemed like Matt’s voice was unstoppable.
