Matt Stillwell (born in Sylva, North Carolina) is an American country music artist. He lives in Knoxville, TN with his wife, Lindsey, and two daughters, Carolina and Ruby.

During college, athletics was Matt's priority, not music. At Western Carolina University, he was an All Conference performer on the Catamount baseball team, playing both infield and outfield. Touted as a probable major league draft choice during his junior season at WCU, he chose music over baseball. "I could have chased the dream and went and tried out and played independent ball," he says, "but I thought, 'If I'm going to chase something,' I’d rather it be music." He later returned to Western Carolina University to be initiated into the North Carolina Omega chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity in the fall of 2017.

In late 2008, he released his debut single, "Shine", which peaked at number 52 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The single served as the title track to his third album released on September 30, 2008. His fourth album, Right on Time, was released on March 11, 2014.^[1] The album's first single, "Ignition," peaked at number 52 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 2012. In 2015, Stillwell released "Hey Dad", a song written about the loss of his father. The song and video have had a major impact especially online. The updated (2021) version reached #35 on the Billboard Activator Chart and is included on his 2021 album, "Hometown".

Matt found a touring niche during the pandemic with his Hometown House Party Tour. To date, he has traveled over 100k miles across the country playing over 200 intimate concerts for fans from his custom Hometown House Party trailer/stage. In 2020 he started curating intimate songwriter/storyteller events across the country with top country songwriters, called "Sessions w/ Matt Stillwell".

He has worked closely with the Cal Ripken Sr Foundation's "Badges For Baseball" program and MLB across the country. In honor of his college coach, Keith LeClair who passed of ALS, Stillwell created the 723 Foundation, and is working with college baseball to further the legacy of Coach LeClair.
