Matt Hanegraaff
Hi! I'm Matt. My love for music began at a young age. Growing up my parents graciously let me play all their records on the home stereo system, and soon I fell in love with the sounds of John Denver, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, and Beethoven. When I discovered instruments like piano and guitar, and how they helped give accompaniment to the thoughts and feeling in my head and heart, I have never been the same. I have always written songs about life. Through good or hard times, songwriting has been my way of processing heartache and joy, and the songs that come out are truly a part of me. I live in Holland Michigan with my wife and daughter.
