Matt McChlery was born in Zimbabwe. From an early age, it was apparent that he had natural musical ability which saw him take starring roles in his primary and secondary school plays and choirs. Shortly after his 13th birthday, at a Christian rock concert, he committed his life to the Lord.
Following this, Matt started getting involved in his school youth group. With a little guidance, Matt taught himself how to play guitar and started leading worship at the age of 15. It was at Rhodes University, South Africa, where Matt's songwriting really started to show sign of maturity and were increasingly used to bless his local church. Since then God has been directing his life towards musical ministry. He has appeared on South African cable television (TBN South Africa), as well as on local and national radio in both South Africa and Zimbabwe. In 2002, he released an independent single 'Jewel of Africa' which reached the top 10 on the Zimbabwean chart. At the beginning of 2006, he has released his debut album 'FLY' (also independent) and so far, the title track has reached number 13 on the Christian Euro Chart.
Songwriting runs in the family as Matt's great, great grabdfather, Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould wrote the classic hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers'. Matt believes that some of the anointing he carries is part of a generational blessing as well as an individual mantle and calling upon his own life. Matt now lives in the UK, teaching at a primary school. At the same time, he is leading worship at his local church and continuing to write songs that he hopes will be a blessing to the body of Christ throughout the world.
