On the surface, 22-year-old Florida native Matt Hires seems to be the epitome of the sunshine state: bare-footed, artistic, and coolly easy-going. But there's a lot more to him than meets the eye. As a child, Matt was introduced to different musical genres by his father.

It was Matt's father that passed along his old, handmade acoustic guitar from 1977 to Matt when he was sixteen years old - the same guitar that Matt uses today. A homeschooler, Matt taught himself to play that guitar and by the time he was seventeen years old, he'd written his first song. Hires began his music career as frontman for Tampa, FL based band Brer. They recorded two 'chill' albums, The Sun Is Rising EP and Microwavable.
