Christian singer and songwriter Matt Maher was born in Newfoundland, Canada, but it was not until a family upheaval led Maher to the desert climes of Arizona that he would find his calling and begin a musical career that would find him composing work for genre artists such as Bethany Dillon and Chris Tomlin, as well as releasing albums and playing shows across the Southwest -- and eventually the world. Having been asked to take on the mantle of youth pastor and music director at his church, Maher -- who was also a scholarship winner for studies in jazz piano at Arizona State University -- would develop his skills quickly, leading to a working relationship with songwriter Tom Booth after moving to Mesa. In 2001, Maher released the first of three independent albums, The End and the Beginning, which was followed by 2003's Welcome to Life and 2006's Overflow. His eventual publishing deal with EMI led to further exposure, and he soon found himself signing a record deal with the Essential label. That relationship allowed Maher to record and release his first "official" album, April 2008's Empty and Beautiful. A number two hit on the gospel charts, Empty and Beautiful would lead to Maher playing more and more shows outside of his Arizona home base, including plans to tour Europe and Australia in 2008. Maher's second album on Essential, Alive Again, was released in September 2009. ~ Chris True, Rovi
Come play Northern NJ. Please! I dare say that sharing your gifts like this is about as pure a form of worship as it gets. Keep shining and reflecting our Father's light!

My thoughts exactly!! We Catholics can sing praise and glory to God with the best of them!

Wish the bio would say that he was Catholic! It would surprise a lot of the protestants that love listening to him..haha...great job Matt :)
I love that he can speak across boundaries to both Catholics and Protestants. I've seen him in concert twice and both times were amazing, as well as just a really good show!
I have his first CD Alpha and Omega, and he signed it for me. He actually sang at my nieces wedding about 8 years ago, he was music minister at their church.
I love Matt and his music. I do have to say I'm curious who wrote his bio though, as he really wasn't a youth pastor since Catholics don't use that phrasing, nor were his first three releases independent, but on the small Spirit and Song Label (and they're all great- including the original, raw recorded version of Your Grace is Enough and a couple others he's re-issued on his Empty and BEautiful and Alive Again national releases). Keep rocking for the Lord Matt!

Cannot judge by the comments. most people do not leave comments.
doesnt seem like he gets many listeners on pandora, judging by the distance in time between comments

Love his music. Going to see him and Audrey Assad in February. Can't wait to hear them both. I agree with josua.bertam - we need to hear more from Cathlic artists!!
I saw him for free thanks to a free concert given by Z88.3 at Northland church in Orlando, Fl. Thanks Z, it was a great concert. It being free was the icing on the cake.
I love his Music! It's about time we Catholics get some good contemporary Christian artists haha

Matt is the real deal in Christian music. The depth, the connection with Christ, and his musical abilities produce music that touches the soul. You are an amazing man of God, brother!
Two thumbs pointing to Heaven. Keep bringing glory to His name! You are awesome

Thanks Matt for your ministry of music!! You are "new" to me and I have been blessed by your anointed music! Would love to see you in concert. Hope you are in the southern California area one of these days!
I am so proud to be a Catholic, universal Christian, and to know that you are one of the only Catholic artists out there representing the truth about Catholicism - that we ARE lovers and followers of the Incarnate Word... our Lord Jesus Christ!

Matt, just spent the week being uplifted by your talents at the Life Teen 2010 Training convention... through you Christ has changed my life and my ministry!!!
Matt: Your music moves me, lifts me up, and shows me what is truly important; my relationship with our God. I know you know this, but God has blessed you with a wonderful talent. I feel God is blessing those who hear the messages in your music. Thank You!
Matt has a way of expressing the way I feel about our Lord and Savior Jesus. He is able to put some of my very thoughts to music that I can sing to our Lord. He is really a blessing to me and many more of Jesus' followers. Thanks Matt

All I can say is; thank you God for singers and song writers like this.
Matt Maher is amazing! His music and call to Christ has forever changed my life. His passion for what he does and how he humbles himself for the glory of God, inspires me to deny myself and carry my cross to for His glory. Matt has a unique style and his music NEVER gets old! So glad I moved to Arizona where my faith grew, otherwise, I don't think I would have ever seen, met, or heard any of Matt's stuff.
