Mat Elliott is an indie soul and alt-pop artist from Halifax, Nova Scotia, known for understated vocals, guitar-forward arrangements, and songs that balance warmth with emotional distance. His music has drawn comparisons to Tom Misch, Men I Trust, and Still Woozy, while leaning into a personal, introspective voice.

Following the release of his debut EP South Endings in 2024, Mat won Music Nova Scotia’s New Artist Recording of the Year (2025) and received multiple East Coast Music Award nominations, including Pop and R&B/Soul Recording of the Year, alongside a Music Nova Scotia nomination for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year. His music has since found an audience drawn to its modern tones, playful restraint, and genuine sense of ease. Frequently described as fun, warm, and quietly memorable, Mat’s writing pairs clever, conversational lyrics with an unforced emotional clarity.

Mat is currently rolling out his debut full-length album Video Games (2026), a 12-track project that expands his sonic world with richer guitar work, layered production, and a cohesive thematic focus on burnout, avoidance, and modern overstimulation. With growing industry support, Mat is building momentum beyond Atlantic Canada and is emerging as a thoughtful, export-ready artist whose music resonates through nuance rather than noise.
