An accomplished independent pop singer-songwriter, Matt Hansen has amassed quite the following with over 1 billion streams and 6 million monthly Spotify listeners. The artist first broke through and captured hearts across the world with his stripped-down covers of 90s and early 2000s classics like Coldplay's "Yellow" and the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris."
