Matty Graven McKechnie is a Nepean-born, once-bedroom-rapper, cross-Canadian rail-riding troubadour, lyrical time-traveler, twang-thunder-picker, dad, wordsmith, melodic mystic, and nature appreciator. Through his 11 albums, that touch on many different life timelines, there is a never-fading guiding light that shines inwards, on the keel of an even but passionate voice, and illuminates feelings of honesty, hurt and hope.
