American musician, singer, and songwriter Matty Mullins is best known as the lead vocalist of “Memphis May Fire,” one of the top metalcore bands. He was nurtured in a conventional Christian home after being born in Washington, US. Being only exposed to “Christian Contemporary Music” (CCM) as a child, had a profound impact on his thinking. He performed with a few local bands in his hometown of Spokane, Washington, after graduating from school. He was accepted into Memphis May Fire, a metalcore band, through an open audition. ‘The Hollow,’ ‘Unconditional,’ and ‘This Light I Hold,’ among others, are just a few of the group’s hit albums that were written by the group’s lead singer and lyricist, Mullins. Over 2 million people follow the band on social media, and their official videos have had over 40 million views. He is being referred to as a rising CCM solo performer with his albums “Matty Mullins” and “Unstoppable.”
Early Childhood & Life
In a traditional Christian household, Matty Mullins was born on July 3, 1988, in Spokane, Washington. Pastor was his father. He attended the ‘Shadle Park High School.’
He grew up listening to “Christian radio and pop music,” which gradually ingrained itself in him. He was only able to listen to Christian music because of his family’s religious convictions and his mother frequently took him to Christian rock events. Mullins had his family’s support throughout his musical endeavors because his father was a musician when he was a little boy.
He claimed that ‘Christian Contemporary Music Groups’ (CCM), including ‘Audio Adrenaline,’ ‘Petra,’ and ‘MercyMe,’ among others, had a profound impact on him. He initially played in a number of Spokane-area bands after graduating from school, in addition to working jobs like selling shoes at Nordstrom’s.
Career of Matty Mullins
‘Memphis May Fire’ was founded in 2006, and lead singer Chase Ryan quit the group in 2008. The band then held open tryouts to locate a replacement, but despite reviewing over a hundred candidates, no one was a good fit. Mullins submitted a recording to the Dallas-based organization and was chosen. When he joined “Memphis May Fire” in 2008, he was 19 years old.
He released the band’s first album, “Sleepwalking,” in 2009, and an EP, “Between the Lies,” the following year. ‘The Hollow’ (2011), ‘Challenger’ (2012), ‘Unconditional’ (2014), and ‘This Light I Hold’ (2016) were his subsequent albums with the group. The band’s second album, “This Light I Hold,” was also a commercial success. Their first album, “Unconditional,” opened at number four on the “Billboard 200.” He not only sings lead for the group, but he also writes most of the songs. He frequently conveys his personal (religious) ideas through his songs, as well as his struggles and experiences throughout the years.
During a “Memphis May Fire” performance on the 2013 Vans Warped Tour, there was controversy when Mullins scolded several audience members for wearing inappropriate clothing. He received a lot of criticism and many people were offended. He later expressed regret for his statements in interviews.
‘Matty Mullins’, his debut album, was released by him in 2014. He collaborated on this record with Cameron Mitzell, who handled the music and programming. (Mitzell has produced records for ‘Memphis May Fire’ as well as other contemporaries, like ‘Sleeping with Sirens,’ ‘The Word Alive,’ ‘Capture the Crown’ among others). The two of them initially intended to create an EP, but as their efforts went well, they decided to create an entire album.
His solo first album, which includes songs like “See You in Everything,” “More of You,” “Glory,” “99% Soul,” and “My Dear,” masterfully combines melody and pop beats with sincere, worshipful love. It was released by Rise Records, and it debuted on the Billboard 200 Charts at position 66.
‘Unstoppable,’ the follow-up to this artist’s debut, is a collection of songs that exude joy and dedication. This album’s music was also produced by Mitzell. Mullins worked with several people on the album’s lyrics, including Pete Kipley on the song “Until I Need You.” Jordan Feliz is featured on the title tune, which inspires hope. 2017 saw the album’s release via “BEC Recordings.”
Mullins has performed at prominent events like “Download” in the UK, “Soundwave” in Australia, and “Riot Fest” in the US. For modern bands like “Sleeping with Sirens,” “Woe, Is Me,” “Spoken,” “For Today,” and “Yellowcard,” he has performed as a guest singer.
