Matthew Chaim

Born and raised in Montreal, Matthew Chaim is captivating audiences with his genre-bending songwriting style and unique vocal tone. Matthew fell in love with the drums as a teenager. But it wasn’t until his early 20’s — having graduated university and after landing a 9-to-5 job in finance — that Matthew began writing songs. Matthew’s first EP, “Homemade”, was written and produced in Montreal with his close friends Noah Barer and Austin Tecks. With ‘Homemade’, Matthew started carving out his emotional and soulful sound, while pulling from his influences at the time, including Drake and Frank Ocean. After landing a spot on the 2017 SOCAN Kenekt Songwriting Camp in Nicaragua, Matthew met and collaborated with writers and producers from Los Angeles. He began making trips out to LA later that year. In the Fall of 2018, Matthew made the move, driving across the country from Montreal in an 8-day scenic journey to California. Matthew’s sound is now evolving into completely new territories, with his musical influences moving towards the likes of Bon Iver, Coldplay, and Tame Impala. Working closely with LA-based producer Rabitt, Matthew Chaim is gearing up to release his new project in Summer 2019.
