About Matt Houston

Matt Houston, born Matthieu Gore in 1977 in Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe, is a celebrated French contemporary R&B singer, songwriter, and producer who has played a pivotal role in shaping the urban music scene in France. Before reaching the age of 20, he moved to Paris and demonstrated entrepreneurial drive by founding his own label, On the Track, setting the foundation for his long-standing career. Houston’s self-titled debut album, "Matt" (1999), was released under the prestigious Barclay label, marking his official entry into the music industry.

He gained early commercial success with the 2000 single "12/003," which climbed to number nine on the French charts. However, his true breakthrough came with the platinum-certified album "R&B 2 Rue" (2001), solidifying his status in French R&B. Over the following years, Matt Houston continued to evolve his sound and artistic vision with albums such as "Chant de Bataille" (2006), "Phoenix 2006" (2006), and "Papa Est Back" (2010).

In 2012, Houston showcased his bilingual talents with the album "Racines," featuring the hit single "Positif." This track, blending French and English lyrics, reached the Top Five in France and highlighted his talent for merging Caribbean roots with urban contemporary music. Throughout his career, Matt Houston has maintained creative control as both a producer and label owner, securing his legacy as a distinctive and influential voice in 21st-century French music.
