Matt Maher has become one of the most popular and critically-acclaimed Catholic artists in the country. Since his 2002 debut release, The End and the Beginning, the rise of Matt and his music has been remarkable. At World Youth Day 2002 in Toronto, Matt’s "Litany of the Saints" was sung at the official Papal Evening Prayer, with the Holy Father singing the lyrical prayer along with 700,000 young pilgrims from around the world. Matt’s songs “Just Like You” and “Love Has Come” were recorded by Christian artist Kathy Troccoli for her album, The Heart of Me, which received a 2002 Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album of the Year.
In October 2003, Maher received the Unity Award for Best New Artist of the Year from the United Catholic Music and Video Association. In 2004 he received the Unity Award for Praise & Worship Song of the Year for “I Love You, Lord.” Matt’s music has received glowing reviews form major Catholic and Christian music publications, and he has also become a popular performer at youth ministry conferences and rallies.
With the release of Welcome to Life in 2003 and his third album, Overflow, in February 2006, Matt continues to explore the wonder and challenges of this life that God calls us to.
