Hailing from Maniwaki, Quebec, the singer-songwriter built his roots on classic American country tunes, performing in French-speaking communities before taking a leap of faith into English-language country music. Driven by a passion to bridge the sound of Music City with his Canadian roots, Lang set his sights on Nashville, working alongside top-tier producers to refine a punchy, contemporary sound that seamlessly honors trad-country nostalgia while pushing the genre forward.
Lang’s big breakout came in 2019 when he took home the crown in SiriusXM’s national Top of the Country competition. The coveted win launched him into the spotlight, leading to a signing with Jayward Artist Group and a string of hit singles including “Love Me Some You,” “Getcha,” and “Water Down the Whiskey”. Following his critically acclaimed albums More and Moonlight Sessions, Lang expanded his reach across North America and Europe, proving that compelling storytelling and magnetic stage presence easily transcend linguistic boundaries.
Known for his electrifying, stadium-ready live shows, Matt Lang continues to prove himself as one of country music’s most dynamic touring acts. With his studio album Ain’t That Bad marking the next evolution in his career, he remains committed to bringing listeners authentic, feel-good anthems built on heavy guitar hooks and relatable lyrics. Whether headlining major festivals or commanding intimate club stages, Lang continues to cement his place as a force in modern country music.
