Australian Idol graduate Matt Corby seems to be travelling just fine without winning the talent show title, thank you very much.
He’s just returned home after spending the past two months making industry connections and recording his sophomore EP. That disc will receive an international release through the Communion label run by Mumford and Sons’ Ben Lovett. It seems the pair has really hit it off as Matt will also support Mumford and Sons on their upcoming Sydney shows.
That’s not the only exciting news though. Matt also recently inked a worldwide publishing deal with the UK division of major record label BMG.
While all that’s very thrilling it seems his focus is on the home front for now. Ahead of the Mumford and Sons shows, Matt will take his original songs all around the country on a headlining national tour to promote his new single “My False.”
