Matt Bazinet

Just a kid from Cobourg, Ontario, Matt Bazinet – from the outside – seemed to fit right into the small town stereotype. As a young man, he played the stoic, emotionless, tough guy role that he felt he had to in order to fit in. Despite this facade, at his core Matt knew he was destined for something more.

Matt has always had a connection to his guitar and naturally turned to the instrument as a way of finding out who he really was. In an effort to express himself, he started posting videos on TikTok where he shared unique takes on beloved country and folk tracks. The most notable of these covers being “Jersey Giant,” which has amassed over 200K views on TikTok – just him, his undeniably captivating vocals and his trusty guitar.

In his original works, Matt wrestles with themes of masculinity and vulnerability. He builds out thoughtful, familiar, worlds where the listener can stop and reflect on moments that they can relate to from this life or the last. Matt’s first original, “Mistakes,” is a song that he wrote as a tribute to the ones he loves as he reconciled with the regrets that became the catalyst for his own self reflection. As he takes the first few steps of his journey to share himself with the world, Matt has found his way to a seat at your campfire with some intimate stories to tell.

All you have to do is lend an ear.
