Matt Wertz 是一位創作型歌手，當 Wertz 在伊利諾斯大學香檳(Urbana-Champaign)分校主修工業設計專業時，就對唱歌、寫歌有著有著強烈的愛好。Wertz 在一個名為"Young Life"的露營活動上表演時，就得到了很多人的喜愛。之后，他的第一張專輯《Somedays》發行了，專輯由 Steve Wilson 制作。他接下來的兩張錄音室專輯和一張EP都是由自己制作，EP由他的好朋友 Dave Barnes 幫忙制作。Matt 時常與 Jason Mraz，Jamie Cullum，Gavin Degraw，Matt Nathanson和 Jars Of Clay 共同參加巡回演出。 Born and raised in Liberty, MO, near Kansas City, Matt Wertz grew up wanting to be a shoe designer, but when he started writing songs his freshman year of college, he realized that it was actually music that he wanted to pursue. Cutting his teeth at Christian youth group Young Life concerts and tour dates with Jars of Clay, Wertz independently released Somedays in 2001, followed two years later by 23 Places. In 2005 the EP Today & Tomorrow came out, and thanks to his constant touring, the singer, who had since moved to Nashville, was signed to Nettwerk Records. His album Everything in Between was issued in early 2007.
