Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter
Matt Bloyd started his career delivering throwback pop influenced by '80s ballads, '90s R&B, and gospel-soul, creating a sound similar to
OneRepublic or
Charlie Puth. From a young age,
Bloyd loved singing. This passion eventually led to a commercial music degree from Azusa Pacific University. In addition to collaborations with
Postmodern Jukebox, he released a number of covers on YouTube. Often singing with his friends, he crafted stirring renditions of songs from the likes of
ZAYN,
Shawn Mendes,
Ariana Grande,
Adele, and
the Weeknd. His first set of original music arrived in April 2016. The five-song EP
Dying to Survive was released independently and featured the single "Give This Love a Try" with
Mia Pfirrman of The Voice. Weeks after the EP's release,
Bloyd recorded a cover of
Brandy's "Have You Ever?" with
Mario Jose and
Vincint Cannady. In July 2017,
Bloyd issued
Covers, Vol. 2, a follow-up covers collection that featured his versions of hits by
Charlie Puth,
Beyoncé,
Celine Dion, and more. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
