Matt Oakley says he “feels like his music career has only just begun”, and that certainly seems to be the case, as he’s turning heads with his heartfelt storytelling and unmistakable Southern charm. With Spotify Editorial placements on All New Country and Fresh Finds Country during the summer of 2024, Oakley is making a name for himself in the industry. His sound, rooted in Southern tradition with a modern twist, has led him to share the stage with big names like Bailey Zimmerman and Big & Rich, and performing at Patriots Fest and Carolina Country Music Festival, further cementing his growing influence.

A graduate of Coastal Carolina University, Oakley’s career gained momentum after performing at CCMF 2023. His journey from small-town stages to opening for major acts reflects his dedication and passion for the craft.

Oakley’s latest singles—”Can’t Take The Dogs,” “Single This Summer,” and “Party on 95″—were released on C2 Records and showcase his versatility and ability to connect with listeners. Produced and co-written by David Ray Stevens (known for his work with Jelly Roll and Luke Bryan), these tracks highlight Oakley’s knack for blending relatable lyrics with infectious melodies.

With a forthcoming album set for release in 2025, Oakley is poised to bring even more of his signature blend of heartfelt country to a wider audience.

Having grown up all over the country as part of a military family, Oakley’s diverse upbringing—spanning from the U.S. to South Korea—infuses his music with a unique perspective. Drawing influence from country greats like Rascal Flatts, Riley Green, and Morgan Wallen, Oakley creates a sound that feels both timeless and fresh.
