Matt Corby
Matthew John Corby (born 7 November 1990) is an Australian singer-songwriter. He achieved his commercial breakthrough with his fourth EP, Into the Flame (2011), which peaked at No. 3 on the ARIA Singles Chart, and by April 2012, was certified 6× Platinum by ARIA. His 2011 single "Brother" and his 2013 single "Resolution" both won ARIA Music Awards for Song of the Year. Corby has released four studio albums, Telluric (2016), Rainbow Valley (2018), Everything's Fine (2023) and Tragic Magic (2026).
Matthew Corby was born in Sydney, Australia, and raised in Oyster Bay, New South Wales.
Corby's earliest musical memory is being driven past a guitar shop as a five-year-old and being captivated by the rows of shiny instruments in the window. His father John bought his son a three-quarter acoustic guitar for $80, on which Corby started having one lesson a week. The first song he learned to play was "Greensleeves".
Corby attended Inaburra School in Bangor, New South Wales where he grew up steeped in gospel; his passion for music fed first by renditions of "His Eye is on the Sparrow" and later by a love for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Corby attended Shirelive church with his family.
Corby's school principal encouraged him to sing at a school assembly where he performed a song from Sister Act 2.
By the time he was 10, Corby had been trained classically by an opera singer and was making tentative steps into musical theatre, playing a minor role in a production of Cain and Abel and Sutherland Shire Light Opera Company's take on The Secret Garden.
At age 13, Corby joined a church band called Iron and Clay, Corby left the group just before his 16th birthday, and got a job making sandwiches at Subway before going back to school in Year 11, which coincided with his Australian Idol appearance.
At age 16, Corby auditioned for the fifth season of Australian Idol, where he finished as runner-up. Years later, he described participating in the competition as being a "big f***ing mistake," describing how the struggle to forge his own identity post-idol was bigger than most could have seen from the outside. "I took all the negatives out of that (Idol) and thought 'Bugger, I've ruined everything'".
