ARTIST OF THE DAY
Matthew West

Dove award winning, GRAMMY nominated Matthew West is the songwriting darling of Nashville.  A pastor’s son, West grew up in Downers Grove, Illinois and released three independent projects before signing to a major label and issuing his first studio album, Happy. The project yielded the hit “More,” which topped the chart for nine weeks and became the most played song on Christian radio in 2004. The following year, he released History, an acclaimed collection that included the hit title track and the instant classic “Only Grace.”

Then life happened.  West underwent a career-threatening vocal surgery in 2007.  He didn't know if he'd ever sing again.  But God brought healing and fresh perspective.  Less than a year after his surgery, West released Something To Say and garnered more listener and critical acclaim than ever before.

Today marks the release of a brand new album: Into The Light.  Just like his previous project, The Story of Your Life, many of the songs on the new record are taken from the stories shared by his fans.  Matthew says about the new album, "When we're kids we are afraid of the dark.  But when we become adults, we fear the light, because we have so much to hide."
