★AOL赞誉「下一位John Mayer」、亚马逊网站编辑评选今年最佳唱片之一
★包办词曲创作/制作/演唱/吉他，擅长钢琴和口琴之创作才子首张主流厂牌专辑
★融合acoustic/folk-rock、hip-hop、rap等风格，John Mayer、Sheryl Crow巡演指定嘉宾
被AOL誉为「下一位John Mayer」，正忙于担任John Mayer和Sheryl Crow巡回演唱会暖场嘉宾的创作歌手Mat Kearney，一次暑假应制作人朋友之邀写歌，因此而获得一纸唱片合约，04年在独立厂牌下出版了首张专辑《Bullet》，也开启了他的专业音乐生涯。词曲创作、制作、演唱、吉他一首包办，也擅长钢琴和口琴，喜欢写作和诗集，培养出Mat Kearney不同于一般时下RAP的风格，音乐才子Mat Kearney擅长将acoustic/folk-rock融合hip-hop，加入主流唱片厂牌的新专辑《Nothing Left To Lose》一半选自于《Bullet》，另一半新作品〈Can't Break Her Fall〉〈Where We Gonna Go From Here〉和〈Nothing Left To Lose〉等则加重了吉他，更加凸显Mat Kearney独特的音乐风格，已在全美电台累计相当的点播率，也顺利打进Billboard 200专辑榜，获得Top Christian Albums#8和Top Heatseekers#4的佳绩。
身为虔诚的基督徒，Mat Kearney对社会人文怀抱著关怀，〈All I Need〉就是根据两位朋友遭受卡翠娜飓风亲身体验的故事写成的，叙事诗随笔〈Crashing Down〉和钢琴为主的能量抒情曲〈In the Middle〉非常具有Coldplay的味道。亲和力的嗓音特质、纯净而具水准的编曲、在Mat Kearney和制作人好友Marvin的精心掌控下，真实呈现了他的诚恳和用心。融合John Mayer般精良的音乐水准、 Toby Mac式RAP、神似Coldplay主唱Chris Martin的唱腔，成功跨越了音乐界限，独特的Mat Kearney无疑有如流行乐坛上的一股清流，时而揪心，时而煽动，充满灵性巧思的《Nothing Left To Lose》被Amazon.com编辑誉为「one of the top releases of the year thus far(年度最佳专辑之一)」，也证明了Mat Kearney不容置疑的音乐形象！

Mat Kearney - Closer To Love
She got the call today, one out of the grey
And when the smoke cleared, it took her breath away
She said she didnt believe it could happen to me
I guess were all one phone call from our knees
Were gonna get there soon
If every building falls, and all the stars fade
Well still be singing this song, the one they cant take away
Im gonna get there soon, shes gonna be there too
Cryin in her room, prayin “Lord come through”
Were gonna get there soon
Oh, its your light; oh, its your way
Pull me out of the dark, just to shoulder the weight
Cryin out now, from so far away
You pull me closer to love, closer to love
Meet me once again, down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin
Down with the wind
And dont apologize for all the tears youve cried
Youve been way too strong now for all your life
Im gonna get there soon, youre gonna be there too
Cryin in your room, prayin “Lord come through”
Were gonna get there soon
Oh, its your light; oh, its your way
Pull me out of the dark, just to shoulder the weight
Cryin out now, from so far away
You pull me closer to love, closer to love
Cause you are all that Ive waited for all of my life
(Were gonna get there)
You are all that Ive waited for all my life
You pull me closer to love, closer to love
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love, closer to love, closer to love
Pull me closer to love
