Matthew Morrisey

Born and raised in North Carolina, Matthew Morrisey and his passion for music began early, shaped by an eclectic mix of influences—from Phil Collins and Radiohead to Rascal Flatts and Kanye West. His diverse taste in music fueled his creativity, leading him to experiment with songwriting and production while playing in local rock bands during high school.

This early exposure to writing and producing inspired Matthew to pursue music at the university level, where he honed his craft and deepened his understanding of composition and production. However, after years of working full-time in higher education, he felt the undeniable pull of Nashville. Determined to chase his dream, he took a leap of faith, leaving behind stability for a part-time barista job and a shot at a music career.

His dedication and perseverance paid off. Through years of hard work and networking, Matthew made a name for himself as a producer and songwriter, eventually gaining recognition for producing Lily Rose’s breakthrough radio single, “Villain”. His collaboration with Lily continued to flourish, as he helped craft and produce numerous songs in her catalog.

Beyond his work with Lily Rose, Matthew has become a sought-after name in country, pop, and Christian music, working with both independent and signed artists. His songwriting and production credits include tracks recorded by Darius Rucker, Jenna Paulette, Mae Estes, Peytan Porter, and more.

Today, Matthew remains a driving force in the music industry, blending his love for storytelling and production to create compelling songs that resonate across genres. From the studio to the stage, his journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and believing in the dream—even when it means starting over.
