Seventeen-year-old Matthew Rushing is a rising singer-songwriter from Greenville, NC, blending folk, Americana, country, and rock into a sound that is uniquely his. A musician since age six, he started on piano before teaching himself guitar, mandolin, banjo, and harmonica, often playing several in a single show. His debut song, Carolina Heaven, won over his community and inspired five more originals. His upcoming single, “Married to the Music”, brings a rock-infused edge and delivers an anthem about the passion and obsession of chasing the music dream.
