Singer-songwriter extraordinaire Matt Terry joins Managed this week to pull back the curtain on the truth behind winning X Factor in 2016. With over 250M+ streams on Spotify and 1B+ streams for songs he’s written (including chart-toppers like Heart Break Anthem, Rock with You and 10 top singles with Enrique Iglesias and Sean Paul) Matt shares the highs, lows, and everything in between of life after reality TV fame. From dominating the charts to lighting up stages on Broadway and the West End (Rock of Ages, Madagascar, The Grinch), and leaving a mark through charity work, Matt reflects on the highs and lows of the music industry and how he’s carved out a global impact in music and culture.
