Matt Hansen

Hardly any other singer-songwriter writes music more suited to emotional states like heartbreak, longing, and emotional healing than Matt Hansen. With his empathetic lyrics, the Los Angeles-based musician captures his own emotional world in moving songs brimming with authenticity, deeply touching his audience. This holds true for both his minimalist ballads and his rousing pop-rock songs, which are carried by his powerful voice and have turned tracks like “LET EM GO,” “something to remember,” and “better off without me” into hits. The fact that Matt Hansen has long since established himself as an independent artist is reflected in more than 1.1 billion streams on Spotify and over 3 million followers on social media. Following headlining tours across three continents, performances at Lollapalooza, and opening for Train, Teddy Swims, Lauv, and Alec Benjamin—as well as his TV debut on the TODAY Show—Matt Hansen has now made his biggest statement yet: On May 15, he released his long-awaited debut album “Orchid,” which was created over the past four years of his career. In October, the singer-songwriter will present this album live on another headlining tour. Matt Hansen will perform at Gruenspan in Hamburg, Metropol in Berlin, and Live Music Hall in Cologne.
