Matt Morris is one of the rare songwriters and musical collaborators who artists trust to give words to their innermost truths.

Morris has spent over twenty-five years inside the creative process, writing songs and accompanying artists through the most vulnerable moments of their work. His songs have been performed by Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Cher, Mary J. Blige, and Sarah McLachlan, most recently "Better Broken"—the title track of McLachlan's 2025 album and the name of her headlining tour.

His studies in theology and divinity gave him language for the interior life that many songwriters never develop. He has always been drawn to the systems human beings build to make sense of themselves—religion, spirituality, mythology, music—and the moments when those systems break open into something true. What he looks for in a lyric is the same thing he looks for in life: honesty, vulnerability, and uniqueness.

Morris has been performing since the age of seven, when he first took the stage alongside his father, country legend Gary Morris. As a teenager, he was cast in The All New Mickey Mouse Club alongside a generation of artists who would go on to define popular culture. His early collaborations in the 2000s established him as a songwriter other artists sought out for the most personal material. In 2010, he released When Everything Breaks Open on Tennman Records/Interscope—a genre-spanning record produced by Charlie Sexton and Justin Timberlake.

Morris is based in Denver and Los Angeles, where he continues to write and collaborate.
