Matt Axton

Some would say music is in the blood. I was lucky enough to be born into a musical family and I am proud to keep the Axton Family Legacy alive. With my grandmother Mae "Queen Mother of Nashville" Axton - PR maven / Songwriter - "Heartbreak Hotel". My father Hoyt Axton- Singer/Songwriter/Actor - "Joy to the world", "Della and the Dealer" and "Gremlins". And My mom Donna Axton - Composer/Professor of Music/Piano Master as my guides, my musical journey took flight. As a youth, I was hopping on and off tour busses, running wild backstage and hanging with artistic characters of all kinds. Music was never a "Like it" or "don't like it" type of thing , it just was "it". This set me up with a unique connection to the musical note and the accompanying words that go into making a song. I learned to give an ear to every style. To find joy and excitement in each story and to seek out the challenge of bringing it to life with originality as the foundation.
