Matt Norton has been writing and recording Christian Rock since the 80’s, attending Greenville Collage’ s CCM program in the early/mid 90’s along side his contemporaries Jars of Clay and and members of the band Plumb.
While many of his friends went the way of corporate labels and music busines in Nashville, Matt chose (in part due to health complications) to go the way of the independent artists long before it became popular.
Diagnosed in his mid 20’s with a rare liver disease Matt returned to the upstate/Finger Lakes region of New York and went through two liver transplants, 5 year apart and a slew of other health complications leaving him struggling both for his life and finances.
Now some 20 years later with his kids grown and a new Band <a href="spotify:artist:1rAQAHhTgjdEpMG1G8gnwF" data-name="Broken By Grace">Broken By Grace</a> Matt is pursuing his music career with even more passion and some incredible experienced to inspire others through his music.
Since 2000 Matt and Brother/Drummer Tim Norton began seriously working on writing/recording and producing together under Matt Norton Music with “Work in Progress” being the first full length project (originally released under the name Stone Pillow) and Live To Sing the Joy of a New Day (the more polished of the two) being the second full length production project.
The brothers continue to work together in their new band crafting their own style of progressive/Melodic Rock/Post Grunge/Pop Punk.
