Matty Reynolds ○ Timbuktu

14 Mars 2025

From UNITED STATES •

Born and raised as the youngest of four kids in a small suburb just outside of New York City, Matty Reynolds has always had a knack for performing. He remembers jumping on his bed singing “Shut Up and Let Me Go” by The Ting Tings at just five years old, and peeking his head out of his bedroom late at night to watch Justin Bieber busking over his big sister’s shoulder.

Matty grew up on this big sister’s pop music taste with artists like Katy Perry, Maroon 5, and Miley Cyrus, and developed his love for music through singing duets with her. When he was 10, he was gifted a keyboard and a guitar, and began teaching himself how to play both.

Once Matty found Tik Tok in 2019, he started a secret account dedicated to posting covers, and says he was too self conscious to sing for anyone besides his family. However, as his account began to grow he realized it would be impossible to hide any longer. He gained confidence from both acquired Tik Tok fans and people he knew personally reaching out complimenting his voice and cover styles.

Once he had built a following and also endured his first real heartbreak, he took his talents to the pen and paper. Initially writing sad love songs, he found that ruminating in his pain only made him feel worse about it. He then began writing fun songs that made him happy and took him away from his anxieties. This led to his highly successful sophomore single “(another) hotel party” released in 2021.

The song quickly took Tik Tok by storm and launched Matty’s career forward tangibly for the first time. The young and free anthem has garnered critical and commercial acclaim, with the single now close to 12 million streams. Matty has remained independent, releasing a series of captivating singles since.

His upcoming debut EP Somebody Like Me is set to release early summer 2025. The artist collaborated with the likes of acclaimed producer Jackson Hoffman and songwriter Andy Tongren of Young Rising Sons fame for the six song genre-defying musical collection.

The music is centered around his girlfriend and the internal struggles he faces from living hundreds of miles away, while also focusing on the hope and happiness he gets from making it all work. These upbeat, promising love songs fuse pop with folk rock and Americana, for an enthralling listen.

Single "Timbuktu" is a hopeful single about how love paramounts the struggle of distance. He shares, "The reason it means so much to me is because it was written so quickly in the heat of my emotions, without any overthought. I was driving to see my long distance girlfriend and the verses naturally came to me, exactly as you hear them today, perfectly describing what it feels like to be so far apart yet always knowing I’ll make that drive a million times over to make it back to her." "Timbuktu" is out now on all platforms.
