After playing college basketball for Drury University for four years, breakthrough country artist Matt Stell stood at a crossroads. One road led to Cambridge, MA where Stell was accepted into Harvard University's Extension School Pre-Med program. The other road pointed toward Nashville and a career in country music. Stell made the choice to follow his dreams of writing and performing. The 6'7" Center Ridge, Arkansas native and self-taught vocalist and guitar-player made the move to Music City in 2014, landing a publishing and management deal with Wide Open Music and a record deal with music industry powerhouse Barry Weiss's RECORDS/Arista Nashville. The CMT Discovery Artist's official music video for "Prayed For You" premiered via People, stars Savannah Chrisley and her fiancé, Nic Kerdiles and has racked up nearly over 4.4 million views! The track has been featured on Spotify's Hot Country, New Boots, Wild Country, and Country Kind Of Love Playlists, Amazon's "The Weekly One," and Apple's A-List Country Playlist. He will be taking the stage at a number of major country music festivals this summer including, CMA Music Fest (Nashville, TN), LakeShake (Chicago, IL) and Watershed (George, WA).
