Delta, BC-based Jac Matthew grew up immersed in music and performance. Classically trained in violin from the age of three, she later became involved in dance and musical theatre before teaching herself guitar and beginning to write her own songs.

In 2017, Jac attended a songwriting workshop at Vancouver’s Nimbus School of Recording Arts, an early step in developing her voice as a writer. After welcoming her second daughter, she returned to songwriting with renewed focus, refining the style that would come to define her sound.

As part of that process, she joined the Nashville Songwriters Association International and shortly after travelled to Nashville, where she performed at the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival in 2024. That experience marked the point where she began pursuing music professionally.

With The Renaissance production team (Garrett Ward and Dan Botch), Jac released her debut single Wild Things in 2025, earning airplay on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country. She followed with Harder to Hold and Make It Make Sense, both of which continued to build on that momentum. Harder to Hold led to Jac being named River Country 94.9’s Rising Stars “Supernova” Artist of the Month in November 2025, while Make It Make Sense earned her JR Country’s Artist of the Month in May 2026 and went on to receive SiriusXM airplay. Her releases have also received extensive Apple Music editorial support, including placements on Canada’s Country, Country Caffeine, Canada’s Country: Best of 2025, New in Country, and Today’s Country.

In August 2026, Jac released her fourth single, Joke’s On You. Within its first week, the song earned Spotify editorial support on the North Country playlist and quickly approached 400,000 streams on Spotify alone. 

With four singles now released, growing support from major streaming platforms and national radio, and a rapidly expanding audience, Jac continues to establish herself as an emerging voice in Canadian country music as she sets her sights on bigger projects ahead.
