Tana Matz

My Name is Tana Marie Matz. I live in Nashville, TN, I'm from Reading, OH. My favorite color is blue, and I have a cat named Peanut who I adore a little too much.

When it comes to the artistic part of my life, I love to sing, write songs, perform, and play guitar and piano. Music is my passion; I could do it all day if it was completely healthy for me to do so. I realized I had an ear for music when I was five years old and began playing “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion on my multicolored xylophone.

By age 15, I had taught myself guitar and played piano mostly by ear. It wasn’t until I was 17 that I had gained the courage to sing for my parents. I have been blessed to release my debut EP, Just Fly, that has been supported and played by several online radio stations, and my sophomore EP, In Time, that released at #11 on the iTunes Country Chart. I've had the privilege to open for Kellie Pickler, Kip Moore, Cole Swindell, Brett Eldredge, John Rich, Dustin Lynch, Cannan Smith, Russell Dickerson, and Joe Nichols!

I want this dream of mine to become reality for many reasons. Not only for my own personal happiness, but I want to inspire people, and be a role model. I want to help the people in my life and try to make this world a better place for as many people as I possibly can. When I die, I want to know that I changed the world for the better, that I lived my dreams, and that I did all I could to share what I was so blessed to be given.
