Matthew Crays

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was given my first guitar by my favorite uncle, I felt like I grew a new arm! I took to the instrument quickly and started my first band in my church at 14 years old. That band still plays in that church today. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Gary Clark Jr., Gary Clark Jr. Live Jason Mraz, Jason Mraz's Beautiful Mess - Live On Earth Michael Bublé, Michael Bublé These three albums and these three artists helped define my musical taste and style at an early age. I grew up idolizing these guys, and learned to sing/play guitar by listening to their music. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My band played Celebrate Erie, the Music Festival in Downtown Erie, PA my hometown. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to be signed to a major record label, and tour the world playing my original music. My songs reflect my life as a recovering addict, and the new hope that I've found in recovery.
