About Matt Johner
Matt Johner is an emerging country singer-songwriter from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, whose prairie roots and lifelong connection to music shape every song he writes. Raised in a musical family and inspired by the rich traditions of Saskatchewan country music, Johner developed his craft early, joining the touring band of The Johner Brothers at just 15 years old as a drummer and backing vocalist. Years on the road across Western Canada gave him a deep understanding of live performance and storytelling, laying the foundation for his solo career.
Now stepping confidently into the spotlight as a frontman, Johner blends traditional country influences with a modern, radio-friendly sound. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Zac Brown, Keith Urban, and classic ’90s country, his music balances heartfelt lyrics, memorable melodies, and an easygoing prairie charm. His debut single, “D.U.I.,” introduced listeners to his energetic style and songwriting partnership with his brother, Luc Johner, while subsequent releases including “Wonder Woman,” “Too Young for Growing Up,” and “Stop, Drop and Roll” have continued to build momentum.
Johner’s music has earned support from country audiences across Saskatchewan and beyond, including airplay on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country channel, where his summer anthem “Hello from Hell” was added to rotation. Whether performing solo acoustic shows, festival stages, or full-band concerts, Matt Johner brings authenticity, warmth, and a genuine love for country music that connects with audiences wherever he plays.
