Edit history

Okmattcollins is the stage name of Gold Coast based singer-songwriter Matthew Collins. Also known as the lead singer/guitarist for indie-rock band WHARVES. He has traded up-tempo danceable rock with WHARVES for an intimate and raw sound with okmattcollins that tips its hat to Neil Young, Jeff Buckley and Bob Dylan. Matt has co-written songs with a variety of artists like Emily Wurramurra, Sunny Luwe and Henri Purnell to name just a few. Songs he has written have been nominated for a Queensland Music Award, played on BBC One and streamed by over a million times on spotify alone. After returning from a headline tour of the UK in 2022 with WHARVES Matt embarked on competing his next body of work. Matt met producer George Carpenter at the 2022 Gold Coast Music Awards and through their mutual love of music decided to collaborate in the second EP. The aim was to create a classic sound of a band and we feel we’ve done that.
