From grandma Beatrice to radio spins—finding a unique voice, stage confidence, kids’ books, and a new film role.

Southern soul/country-soul artist Matt B sits down with BeatsToRapOn to trace the roots of his sound: living-room sing-alongs with grandma Beatrice (the “B” in his name), choir and church training, and that first studio session at 21. He breaks down the grind of staying consistent, turning nerves into performance energy, and crafting records that move dance floors and trail rides alike.

We dive into song stories for “Stepping Boots,” “Step My Way,” “Friday Weekend Joy,” and the slow-burn favorite “Don’t Want to Leave.” Plus: the “Hello, I’m Matt B” coloring book for kids, an upcoming “Step My Way” book, and a new indie film.
