“Every big event in our life starts with a single breakthrough”
This is the core of Mat Leland’s songwriting. Influenced by such legendary songwriters as James Taylor and Sam Cooke, his music is a blend of acoustic folk and blues with an old style feel. Originally from Detroit Michigan, he has traveled the world playing his music. Now based out of New York City, and with the release of his debut self produced album ANOTHER DAY he is ready to take America by storm. Mat has played great venues such as THE BITTER END and the world famous CBGB’s in New York.
His sound ranges from piano driven gospel (TIL YOU CAME ALONG) to hard acoustic rock (SEARCH YOURSELF).
“You don’t need a life changing experience to write a song. There are moments everyday worth writing about. You just have to pay attention.”
Mat also works as a producer/engineer in New York City. He is co-owner of Haven Studios.

Do you think I'm tall? I don't think I'm tall but apparently I am. I'll tell you what I do think though....I think that you need to call me. I forget what your voice sounds like. (-:
Mat, you have quite the soulful voice, my friend...We both have a strong affinity for Sam Cooke...I'm proud to live in the same neighborhood as you. See you soon, bro...
Hey. Just letting you know that I don't miss you at all, and haven't been thinking about you, and we shouldn't hang out soon and drink or see a movie or anything else social. Just wanted to let you know.
