Christian singer and songwriter Matt Maher was born in Newfoundland, Canada, but it was not until a family upheaval led Maher to the desert climes of Arizona that he would find his calling and begin a musical career that would lead him to compose work for artists such as Casting Crowns and Chris Tomlin, as well as releasing albums and playing shows across the Southwest -- and eventually the world. Since debuting in the early 2000s, the Dove award winner and multiple Grammy nominee has topped the CCM charts with singles like "Lord, I Need You" and "Because He Lives (Amen)." Notable albums included 2015's Saints and Sinners, 2017's Echoes, 2020's Alive & Breathing, and 2022's The Stories I Tell Myself. 


Having been asked to take on the mantle of youth pastor and music director at his church, Maher -- who was also a scholarship winner for studies in jazz piano at Arizona State University -- would develop his skills quickly, leading to a working relationship with songwriter Tom Booth after moving to Mesa. In 2001, Maher released the first of three independent albums, The End and the Beginning, which was followed by 2003's Welcome to Life and 2006's Overflow. His eventual publishing deal with EMI led to further exposure, and he soon found himself signing a record deal with the Essential label. That relationship allowed Maher to record and release his first "official" album, April 2008's Empty and Beautiful. A number two hit on the gospel charts, Empty and Beautiful would lead to Maher playing more and more shows outside of his Arizona home base, including plans to tour Europe and Australia in 2008. Maher's second album on Essential, Alive Again, was released in September 2009, faring better than its predecessor, beginning a trend that would see each of his subsequent albums climbing higher on both the Christian and pop charts. Following 2011's Southern rock-tinged The Love in Between, Maher issued a compilation of live cuts and a handful of new songs under the title All the People Said Amen. Released in 2013, it included the certified platinum hit "Lord, I Need You," and coincided with Maher's performance alongside Pope Francis to a Brazilian crowd nearly four million strong at Rio's World Youth Day. His 2015 release, Saints & Sinners placed at number two on Billboard's Christian Albums chart and featured collaborations with Needtobreathe's Bo and Bear Rinehart and Switchfoot's Jon Foreman. His most successful release yet, it netted Maher four Grammy nominations and a Dove Award for Songwriter of the Year. 


2017's Echoes earned Maher his ninth career Grammy Award nomination and peaked at no. 5 on the Christian Albums chart, while 2018's The Advent of Christmas saw him deliver his first set of holiday music. The title cut from 2020's Alive & Breathing soared to the upper echelons of the Christian charts and appeared on multiple mainstream year-end lists. 2022's The Stories I Tell Myself featured a mix of new, live, and previously unreleased cuts, with guest spots from Lizzie Morgan, Ellie Holcomb, Nate Moore, and Brian Elmquist, among others. ~ Chris True, Rovi
