Mat Rigby is a Melbourne-based singer-songwriter creating contemporary music shaped by a foundation in classical vocal training. That mix gives his songs both control and freedom, polished vocals paired with an honest, youthful energy.

He first built an audience by sharing covers online and is now stepping confidently into original music, writing songs drawn directly from his own life and experiences. Songwriting is how Mat makes sense of the world around him, turning everyday moments into stories that connect with listeners.

After finishing Year 12 in 2025, Mat is taking a gap year in 2026 to focus fully on music and build his audience. He’s eager to play as many gigs as possible, grow through live performance and see where the year takes him.

Inspired by artists like Lime Cordiale, The Dreggs, Steph Strings, The Pierce Brothers and Ocean Alley, Mat is focused on writing honest, personal songs and continuing to develop his voice as both a songwriter and performer.
