About Mat

Melbourne-based artist Mat Rigby is quickly emerging as one of Australia’s most compelling new voices. At just 18, he has already built a growing fanbase of over 70k fans, generating millions of views across his social channels through the strength of his voice alone.

First picking up a guitar after being gifted one for his 8th birthday, Rigby hasn’t put it down since. What began as a personal outlet has evolved into a powerful creative expression, anchored by raw emotion and a natural ability to connect with listeners.

Drawing comparisons to Dermot Kennedy, Noah Kahan, Matt Corby and Angie McMahon, Rigby’s sound is defined by a soulful, expressive vocal that sits front and centre.

His debut single ‘Holdin On To You’ offers a deeply personal introduction. Written at 15 during his parents’ separation, the track reflects on holding onto a past that no longer exists, showcasing both his vulnerability and maturity as an artist.

With more music scheduled for release throughout 2026, Mat Rigby is only just getting started.
