    Born in Fort Worth, Texas, raised twenty miles west in Aledo, Matt Jenkins had been tempted to pursue a music career straight out of high school. “I'd started playing guitar, and dabbling in songwriting,” he says. “And I was always recording. I was in love with it.” The former high school basketball star had grown up singing and playing guitar in the small theaters of the Texas “Opry” circuit, immersed in the country music his father had always written and performed. But Jenkins resisted the move to Nashville, instead attending South Plains Junior College, near Lubbock, honing his guitar and vocal skills and studying songwriting and theory. After a year, he packed up and made the move to Nashville. A chance audition later that year with Jody Williams Music led to his first publishing deal at 19. Now 26, Matt has spent the past few years working on his songwriting craft in Nashville and playing shows around the country. His live performances have led to supporting slots with Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Sugarland, Keith Urban and several appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. Matt’s smooth baritone and from the heart writing style have set him apart as one of the brightest young artists to watch in Country Music. His first full-length cd is coming out later this year!
