Mat Carter has been playing his passion since 1998, although he has been an experienced musician and performer all of his life. He is also a singer/songwriter with the tremendous gift of great stage presence. He quickly went from beginner to pro on guitar, expanding his talent in the gift of song.

Mat plays acoustic rock with a Christian twist. His biggest influences are Dave Matthews, Derek Webb of Caedmon's Call, Shane Bernard, and Rich Mullins. Although all alone on stage with his guitar, he has enough power in his voice and in his hands to turn a soul inside out. His mighty stage presence attracts people of all ages to listen and not turn away.

The year 2002 yielded much growth for Mat in his musical talent and in his travel. Mat has played in numerous venues in Springfield, Missouri and his tracks lead all the way to Jacksonville, Florida. A home of many fans is Cedar Falls, Iowa with Kansas City, St. Louis and Columbia, Missouri all along the way. Mat's biggest area of growth in the last year has been in his personal experiences which have influenced and helped mature his song writing and dedication to his passion, music.
