Matt Talley is an American Singer-Songwriter from Baltimore, Maryland. Drawing influences from alternative rock and pop genres, Talley's music does not shy away from exploring themes rooted in life, love, politics and faith.

After stints in garage bands and the worship community, Talley released his first EP, Bridge Burner, in the Spring of 2014 - a culmination of songs that encompassed the key moments of his life up until that point. Talley quickly made a name for himself in the Baltimore music scene and has since played numerous shows in the Baltimore/DC metro area.

I create with the belief that music is a part of my deepest expression, art, passion, and voice when I don't have one. I truly believe it is healing for me and sometimes for those listening. We all go through life and experience things that shape us as people. Whether it cuts deep at the core of you or fills in a desperate void, we are constantly being molded whether we want to be or not. If we’re honest, life would be pretty boring without a curveball every now and then. My heart tends to be in a cycle of contentment, complacency, pursuit for joy, misplacing priorities, realization of truth, then perseverance to return to that truth. My music and lyrics typically come from somewhere in the middle of that cycle, between the ‘pursuit for joy’ and ‘realization of truth’. 
My last 3 years have been filled with so much overwhelming joy and pain in realizing how far from the truth I’ve taken myself. Its a frustrating process to say the least, but I wouldn’t take one second of it back. The pain and pursuit of truth and my faith have grown me in ways that I wouldn’t have, had I not had those experiences. The songs I’ve written in the process of that growth are constant reminders of where I’ve been and what to keep my eyes glued to, though I still struggle. So I’ve decided to present my songs in a way that gives you a small view of those developing experiences in hopes that you can see the most honest side of me, but also to hopefully relate and find hope and joy in your own life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening, for supporting, and giving me a reason to continue to do what I love to do.
