About our guest
After 10 years of classical operatic vocal training, Mathew V moved from Vancouver, Canada to London, England at the age of 17, where he found his signature sound. Now only years later, Mathew has accomplished a lot since returning home to Canada. Mathew penned a deal with 604 records and his debut single “Tell Me Smooth” went top 40 on Canadian Radio (Hot AC/AC) for 18 weeks. Mathew has written with the likes of Dan Mangan, Shaun Frank, Fly By Midnight, and more. On stage, he’s opened up for Betty Who, Ria Mae, Hanson, Daya, RALPH, and MAGIC! to name a few. His debut album “The Fifth” came out in the spring of 2018 and charted in both Canada and the US. In 2020, the sophomore album "Two Faced" helped Mathew breakthrough 25 million catalog streams and beyond. The albums earned critical acclaim from press outlets such as Nylon and Billboard, marking Mathew as an artist on the rise. Now making new music, Mathew is pushing his boundaries and setting his sights on new highs.
