Matt King
Biography
Imagine working toward a dream for years, and suddenly its shiny possibilities are within your grasp. They're there, just around the corner, waiting for you to snap them up before you can step through a door to lead the life you've always wanted. But even the best and brightest dreams sometimes need a little grub stake to set them in motion when times are hard. That's how it was for singer/songwriter Matt King. He had long been aiming for a music career, and managed to land a job at Opryland after auditioning for the spot. Things were ready to open up for the North Carolina native, and the first step to achieving his dream was ready and waiting to be taken. Unfortunately, the shiny dream turned to ashes with the realization that he lacked the funds or resources to relocate. With King deep in debt, Opryland was farther away than ever. But like the hero of a good country music ballad — armed with a good story, a lot of heart, and belief in his ability — King forged on. He took another shot at his dream in 1994 when he was finally able to head to Nashville. His perseverance paid off. After making the rounds and singing at local nightspots, crafting demos, and trying to get a foot in the door, he found a believer in Gary Morris. The summer after he'd landed in Nashville, King auditioned for the bigwigs of Atlantic Records, thanks to Morris. The company soon signed him to a record deal, with Morris set to be his record producer. His audition on Music Row, rewarded by a nice contract, was a long way from the days when he couldn't afford to move to Opryland to take a job. .
