Chase Matthew

Country singer/songwriter Chase Matthew made a rapid ascent in 2021 thanks to the viral success of his debut single, "County Line," from the EP of the same name. The first signee to Ryan Upchurch's Holler Boy Records imprint, Matthew capitalized on his success with the 2022 full-length Born for This. He made his major-label debut in 2023 with the double album Come Get Your Memory on Warner Bros, followed by the EPs We All Grow Up and Always Be Mine in 2024.

Growing up outside of Nashville, Tennessee, Matthew began singing during his high school years and kept working at his craft while holding down a day job as a mechanic. His gritty songs about the real-life characters he grew up with helped him build a large social media following and in 2021 he was picked by entrepreneurial country rapper Ryan Upchurch to be the first artist on his new Holler Boy label. "County Line," the title track from his first EP, was a massive streaming success, creating anticipation for Matthew's debut album, Born for This, which arrived in early 2022 and hit number two on the Heatseekers chart. After signing with Warner Bros., he issued the charting stand-alone single "Love You Again" in December. Wasting little time, the prolific singer/songwriter returned in 2023 with his sophomore album, a lengthy 25-song set titled Come Get Your Memory. Early the following year, Matthew returned with the EPs We All Grow Up and Always Be Mine, the latter of which also included the single "Saltwater Cinderella." ~ Timothy Monger
