It’s hard to believe that less than 3 years ago when Matt Lang made his way to Nashville to record his first English-language album, he didn’t speak a word of English. Produced by Danick Dupelle (Canadian studio owner in Nashville and guitarist for Emerson Drive) that debut EP “Matt Lang” stayed at No.1 on the national iTunes Country Albums chart for multiple weeks in the fall of 2019. By that time, Matt was mastering the English language at a rapid rate and is now all but fluent.

Matt’s first EP has exceeded 9.1 million streams to date. Proudly from Maniwaki, Québec, Matt has always wanted to bring Nashville to Québec and also to make his mark across Canada and around the world. From 2018 to 2021, he performed hundreds of live shows in English to ever-growing crowds, now most often sold-out.  Matt and his band opened for Tebey on ‘The Good Ones’ tour in Ontario and Western Canada in Jan/Feb 2020 and they also performed their first European shows in March 2020 at the prestigious C2C Festival in Berlin. He was booked to perform 4 shows at C2C London, UK, before COVID-19 forced him and his band to return home early.

In 2019 shortly after signing to the newly formed label Jayward Artist Group, Matt won the national SiriusXM Top of the Country competition taking home top cash prize, 2 showcases including a Boots & Hearts festival performance and an appearance on the live CCMA Awards TV Broadcast. 2019 also saw Matt take home three awards at Québec’s Country Gala, SOCAN’s Country Music Prize and his first ADISQ nomination for English album of the year. 

Lang delivered his 2nd English album, ‘More’, on June 5, 2020 to the excitement of fans and industry alike. Upon release, the album debuted at No.1 on the iTunes all genre chart and on the iTunes country album chart and was the #1 selling album in Quebec (Nielsen) and the #3 selling album in Canada (Nielsen). ‘More’ has yielded 3 hit singles and videos to date. Matt’s first single, ‘Water Down The Whiskey,’ achieved Top 20 at Canadian country radio, and soared past 2.3 million streams. ‘Getcha,’ was Matt’s first Top 5 radio single in the fall of 2020 and has over 2M streams to date. Single #3 ‘Only a Woman,’ also secured a Top 15 peak on Canadian country radio charts as well as a Top 10 position on the Billboard Emerging Canadian Artist chart this spring and pulled in another 2 million streams. 

In all, ‘More’ has pulled in over 10M audio streams across Digital Service Providers to date! 

Matt’s accolade collection continued in 2020 with another Gala Country award for Live Show of the Year (English) and he was nominated for a 2020 ADISQ award in the same category. He also received his first national CCMA Nomination for Rising Star of the Year. 

The brand new single “In a Bar” is set to release worldwide in June 2021 with the most comprehensive team in place to date.  Radio and PR Consultants are bringing “In a Bar” to market in the UK, Germany and Canada simultaneously.

Matt is signed to Jayward Artist Group Inc. The label is distributed by The Orchard and promoted by Sony Music Canada. He is represented by Preste Agency in Canada and UTA Internationally.
